You can buy mobile broadband from Verizon or Sprint.


I have both, and need both as the coverage is erratic on both. The
unlimited
service costs me a total of about $2,000 a year. That is a bit more than
most people will pay to stream audio.- Hide quoted text -

Then you really are a stupid high-school dropout - my kid has an
iPhone, and unlimitied Internet is only $20 extra/month.

The specific reference was to Sprint and Verizon mobile EVDO mobile
broadband, not to the iPhone which is on the AT&T network.

The iPhone internet is very, very, excruciatingly, slow. It's comparable at
best to a decent 28.8 dial up. And you have to pay the base phone charge
plus the device. $400 plus about $80 a month is the end cost for very slow
internet connections.
