You mean you guys actually ...pay...for laptop Internet service?

I already pay for Internet service on my google phone, so I simply
use that as a router/tether. Free /unlimited/ down/up loads either
wireless or through usb. I use a netbook btw, not a clunky, hot
heavy and battery-hungry laptop.


Really, what provider do you have? I'm genuinely curious since most that
advertise "unlimited" actually in the small print limit you to typically 5GB
a month.


It's only a matter of time before phones and laptops become one
in the same. When that finally happens, we can have the temerity
to consider this the computer-age. We're not there yet imho.


Eh, I like to keep them separate. A phone is too small for an effective
laptop and a laptop is too large to be an effective phone.
