If you’re like me, you don’t want to be without a high speed Internet connection when you leave home. Many cellular phone companies, such as Verizon, provide a 3G Internet option that works anywhere you have a cell signal.

Verizon offers several ways to connect your laptop, netbook or other Internet capable device to the Internet. I will briefly describe the most common methods of providing 3G Internet.

Verizon’s MiFi Portable 3G Internet Hotspot: I have personally used the Verizon MiFi to provide high speed 3G Internet access to my laptop and my wife’s netbook while I traveled. The MiFi is a portable wireless 3G Internet router and can provide broadband Internet service to up to 5 wireless Internet capable devices. It is very small, about the size of a half a deck of cards, and has a rechargeable battery. Wireless setup was easy and the MiFi performed flawlessly. The cost for the data plan in 2010 was about $60 for 5 Gigabytes of data per month.
