I need to get online/mobile with my laptop.  Does anyone have a plan and/or experiences?

Seems like Comcast,Verizon,Clear,T-Mobile all have USB air cards.  I primarily need it for emails and less than 300 site pages a month (so I don't need a ton of gigs).  That might even put me in a pre-paid category.  Tks

Just tether it to your phone. That's what the wife and I do. Why buy additional equipment and what not, when your phone is capable of doing it for you.

Yup, hotspot that sucker!

Ive used one for years, for what you want to do it'll be fine. One thing Ive noticed is air cards tend to get better reception that cell phones due to the radio equipment inside (its different due to not handling voice traffic)... I have had numerous ATT smart phones and aircards and the card's reception blows the phones away. I can stream data in areas where I can barely make a call on my phone.
