I have a laptop I want to be able to connect to internet from various locations, not just Starbucks etc. Can you get service from anyone besides Verizon, Sprint?

Thats the only companies that does wireless internet anywhere, its like a cell phone service. Starbucks has wireless routers in their store so you can connect to the internet there. Much different then what verizon and sprint use.

available instant in school would be possibly at some homes in basic terms, except you have have been given a 'hotspot' on your dorm. you are able to as nicely get a sign from somebody's living house gadget. The closer you're to the router the more suitable the sign would be (and bigger speeds). those could or won't be encrypted, so a password would be required for the later. On un-encrypted (aka 'open hotspot') networks, word that one and all your site visitors to and from the router would be in undeniable text textile, so everyone else can 'sniff' your surfing: so do not use those varieties for soft variety of communications (banks, credit playing cards, etc.) A instant card may be a provider so which you will get an internet provider provider (ISP) like Verizon. the kind of card operates in basic terms like a cellular telephone (comparable technologies) so which you will desire to be on the brink of that companies towers. this is severe priced, and not overly quickly, yet whilst this is all ya have been given, this is what ya use.

I think you are looking for something like AT&T's Edge.

Talk to your local cable company, too.
