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.


T-Mobile. I signed up after they put out the original sidekick. The plan says
unlimited megabits then and still does for the phone. But when I looked into
the cost of adding a laptop, it was like $60 a month and had a 5gb limit.
