I'm looking for a cell modem/service for a laptop to be used when
traveling. It would be nice to be able to shut off the service when
not using it without huge penalties. Anyone here using such a beast.
Thanks.


Virgin Mobile's Broadband2Go. You'll have to buy the laptop dongle from
them, and then buy your access in blocks. It's a pay-as-you-go plan, so
you can buy it only when you want to use it.


Except that would be the worst choice for a lot of areas since it only
uses Sprints network. Sprint is a little better than tmobile but not
spectacular. And in some areas say where I live they only deployed 3G on
a few core cells and everything else is still 1X speed.
