I currently use an air card, which is like a cell phone, but no voice capability at all. Plugs into the USB port on my laptop. My current plan is about $60 per mo, I get good signal at home and at work. In my region (three states, more or less) I get unlimited download/upload/data. Stability has been pretty good. It drops out perhaps twice a week. I use it 10 hrs per day for work, and >8 hrs/day overnight to get my podcast stuff for the Ipod. Lots and lots and lots of data.

The big drawback is speed. It's noticeably faster than my dialup, but slower than any other kind of high speed. Youtube takes 3x to 4x the time to download. So, 4 minute video = 12 minute download.

It works for me, maybe not for you, as no voice unless you do skype or something. Probably too slow for that.

Finest regards,
