I live in a rural area and cannot get DSL or cable internet. My modem has gone out on my computer and I want to go ahead and add something faster than dial up. I have AT&T cell phone service so I am thinking about going with them…..

Which is an internet service provider that can meet my needs?
I just got verizon wireless from broadband, using a USB card about a week ago. It’s 60 dollars a month, but the first month is just a test-drive before you get knee-deep in a contract, although it’s still paid (unfortunately.) I never intended on keeping the service, as it is much too expensive- I used to pay 80 a month for an internet, cable, and phone bundle. Anyhow my problem is this, the plan I have is limited to 5 GB monthly, and being somewhat computer illiterate, I thought this was a lot. To my surprise, after having the service for only one week, we have almost used 4GB. I used to have chater cable internet and never remember having to worry about how many GB were used. I need unlimited access to the internet as I work online and use it for online schooling. I can’t get charter, as it is not available in Richmond VA. I do not care whether I have cable or dsl, the only thing I don’t want is dial-up. Someone please help! Before I run out of Giga!

Mobile Broadband Card?
At my current location I can’t get DSL, Broadband, or Cable internet. All I can get is dial-up and what I need is some high-speed service. I’ve looked into satellite but equipment seems overpriced. Now I’ve heard of these Mobile Broadband Cards. Does anyone here have these, how much do you pay, and what kind of speeds do you get? And do you recommend it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
These Cards operate off of the cell phone towers.
Is there a way that I can use dialup and cable at the same time on my computer?
I can only login to my job through dial-up, but at the same time I would like to keep surfing the net with my cable modem. Right now, I have to disconnect from dial-up if I want to use my cable internet at all, but it’s so slow and annoying. Yes, I have requested to get high speed access, but is there anything I can do until that happens?

Do I need a phone line to receive Fiber Optic Internet?
I currently have dialup. Because of my cell phone, I only am using my home phone line to get online. I pay $40 a month for the phone line and $20 a month for dialup Internet so I think I might be able to save money if I go another route. Do I need a phone line for Fiber? Also, would I need my phone line to get cable Internet?
Thanks!
Also, I do have Fiber available at my home.
