The best solution to having wifi is getting your own hotspot (mifi). Recently my ATT web DSL service was out for 4 days for the whole area. Forget ATT reliability! Anyway, after 2 days I went to Walmart (or whatever you call it) and found a 'pay as you go' hotspot (mifi) called "Internet to Go". It's on the Sprint network which coverage is not as good as Verizon but the cost is much less and you don't have to pay monthly charges like Verizon. Only what you use and the time doesn't expire. Much like Tracfone. Cost of the unit was $80. The pay as you go cards are in increments of 10, 25 and 45 dollars. The 25 that I bought gives you 1.5 GB of usage. The unit is so small you can fit it in a shirt pocket! Easy set up and decent service plus you can hook up to 5 devices to it at one time. If you only use it for email and websurfing, it will last quite a while before you need to buy more time. So far, I'm happy.
