We just got the Sprint Hot Spot Internet connection that is mobile and can be used anywhere there is a Sprint cell tower. It is 3 or 4 meg download speed, depending on location (they said TV would probably be 4 meg) and will service up to five devices at one time. Range is about 40 feet. Instead of having to pay for cable or phone DSL at two homes all year, this device goes to both places and also anywhere in between. Cost is about the same as a 3 meg DSL service with the medical professional discount (15%, same as employee discount). We called to cancel our AT&T DSL here in Norcal. Were paying $24.95/mo for 1.5 meg service - the rep said they could offer it for $15.95 if we stayed on board.
We have a Sprint cell phone but I don't know if it is required to get the hot spot - think the hot spot is a stand alone device.
