    Help: Wireless Network Cards (Laptops)

    I'm not even sure if that's the proper term, but the bottom line is I'm looking for a device for my laptop so I can get Wi-Fi access while on the road. I know AT&T and Verizon are a few carriers but I was wondering if anyone with some experience had any recommendations and what the price ranges might be. Also how effective and reliable they are and so forth.

    Thanks in advance.

              I have never had one, but you need to check with Verizon. You can usually get the card for your laptop for free if you sign a 2 year contract for it. Then you pay a monthly fee for it. Best to have unlimited data with it. It will give you high speed internet wherever you have cell phone coverage. I think it's $60 a month for it too.

                      Is it really only $60 for unlimited data? I ask because last time I checked on these it was like $99-119 for unlimited data.

                          Yeah usually around $60, if you have a smartphone and only need to access the internet on the road a few times, you may be able to get away with tethering your phone to your laptop and using it to access the internet. As long as you aren't using a ton of data, no one will know the difference, atleast on AT&T.
