I have come acrossed a smartphone app that is awesome. It's called PDAnet. It lets you use your phone as a modem to your computer to get internet service. The free version is on a trial period that after the trial period runs out you can still use it but it won't let you on secure sites. The paid version is a 1 time purchase for $18.95. I have unlimited internet on my phone so basically I have unlimited internet for a 1 time purchase of about 19 bucks. It's faster than my wireless card that costs me 60 bucks a month. That's getting cancelled. It's not as fast as cable but it's nowhere near as expensive either.
