how does cell phone wireless internet work/w home pc?

Question

I heard a radio comercial about Internet service. If you can get a Altell signal then you can get internet, It was meaning a home computer.I get Altel signal in my house with no problem. I am in a tiny little town with no wireless,no caple or dsl. I have tried every phone company and theres only 1 cable company. I could get Satilite internet..a friend of mine has it and it's not really much faster then my dial up,But she pays a whole lot more for it! I pay $9.95,she pays $59.99 a month. Her's is a hole 30 seconds or a min, faster then mine loading pages. Not to mention the $250 she paind to get it connected!So I am wondering about that Altell internet comercial....I havn't heard it again! I want to check it out....Ya, i'm in the middle of NO WHERE -Upper Michigan. The lines for DSL end 1 block befor my street and they won't bring them though the town.

You are seeing a commercial about the 3G internet sevice provided by most cellphone carriers now. You purchase a 3G wireless card, it looks alot like a regular wifi card, and plug it into your computer. As long as you can get the cell signal in your home you can get internet access. It about as fast as regular DSL, maybe a bit slower, but definatly better then dialup......
