Default Any suggestions for a nationwide Internet service provider?
I need new Internet service, and I was wondering if anyone out there uses a national service provider, like T-mobile or Sprint for their Internet connection.

The plans seem high $60/month - but it would be nice to know I'll have the internet when I travel. Anyone have any recommendations?

I use Verizon wireless air card since I travel a lot in the summer and have no problems with it. I stay in wooded areas and have never had a problem setting a connection anywhere. They have several tiers of plans and right now I have the top but once winter comes and we stop traveling as much I can drop down to a less expensive plan and increase again when needed.

Depending on where you are or will be traveling, Verizon seems to provide good coverage too. A friend of mine went on a two-month rock climbing trip across the country and she was able to maintain her blog while traveling. She switched services for this reason. The best thing to do would be to do a comparison of the services, not only looking at the rates (which are about the same), but also at coverage, service, customer feedback, etc. Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback! I was thinking about Verizon, since they seem to have the most coverage. That's cool about the rock climbing trip and being able to blog. It's good to know you can have Internet from anywhere you can get a cell phone to work these days. My hope is that someday the prices will get more competitive.

Cheers!
