Why Wireless Internet Service is What You Want


Sometimes I feel like Robin Williams in RV when he is running everywhere to look for an Internet signal. When I travel I have to run to the nearest hotel, restaurant, Starbucks or McDonalds and ask if they have Internet. I look like a total klutz or someone who is just looking to freeload. That really isn’t my intention, but my job takes me to various locations and I just hate walking around with my laptop in my hands seeing where the signal is strongest. This is why I opted for one of the great wireless Internet providers.
Wireless broadband comes in the form of a small device that looks like your average memory flash drive (maybe a little thicker around the middle—O.K. a pregnant flash drive—if you insist.) But the most fantastic thing about this wireless internet service is that you can use it anywhere—in the park, at the lake, in the car, the restaurant, post office and any other place you go.

How Does it Work?
The device simply plugs into your laptop or desktop USB port. Once you install the software (also on the device), you just start surfing the web—no matter where you are. Now that is convenience! No longer are you tied to your desk to work. You can go to the beach and work right from under a beach umbrella. It’s spectacular.

In the end mobile wireless Internet costs just about the same as other service providers, but offers service where they can’t.  You see the even the cheapest wireless Internet service provider can offer you service in rural areas, or any place, so long as there is a cellular phone signal. So if your phone works so does the wireless Internet service.
Contract
Hmm OK there is a fly in the soup here—you probably do need to sign a contract, but you also have to sign a contract for any other cellular phone service and probably for any other Internet service too. The length of the contract will depend on whether you are already a wireless customer or not. It can range from a
