I keep a little 4g samsung hotspot router on me from vzw that is very
convenient when I need to jump on with a laptop, or let someone else on
with me too. $50 bucks/mo for 5gb (that's the worst of it). I'd had a
built-in mini-pcie card that I could never get to work right due to
buggy hp bios in my laptop (gobi2100 if i remember right, elitebook
piece of s**t from hp, ugh) and eventually gave up on in favor of the
hotspot router.
I'd use my phone, but didn't like the notion of losing data when I would
get a call (prior to my having a 4g phone with separate data radio now).
GSM isn't an issue for this with separate data/call bearers anyways.

I get really good data throughput even on 3g with Android O2 firmware on
a Dell Streak AT&T.
I had a Verizon USB modem in the old days when you had to recompile the
kernel on Ubuntu to use it with USB, but I really don't think the
expense is worth it, anymore, due to phone tethering.

All verizon phones as part of the share everything have it enabled now.
Any rooted android phone can also.

I don't know this for a fact, however I hear you can use certain
smart phones as a wifi hot spot.

Hi All,
I am looking to pickup a cellular USB modem that my wife and
I can use on her laptop when traveling (rather than relying
solely on trying to find free Wifi). I know that there are
providers where I can purchase the modem device and purchase
a month-to-month data plan. I'm looking to go pre-paid as I
don't need (or want) to have a recurring monthly bill when
I'm not using it.
In case it matters, this would be for a Win7 laptop.
Any recommendations??
Thanks,
Peter
