[quote=briansd1]Cellular modem is a rip off, you can tether most cell phones with a 3G data plan to your computer and have internet that way. Same thing. Why pay the carriers extra? You just need to learn how to do it.[/quote]
I know how to do it, have done it, and choose not to. I like being able to use it on any computer (bluetooth or no) and let my wife borrow it when she needs it. The cost comes out very nearly the same for one person, less since we share it. I pay $45 for AT&T phone service (cheaper than Verizon, I don’t care how much better their network is) and another $40 for Verizon internet (cheaper than AT&T).
