It&#8217;s faster than my dial up. I live in a rural area, so dial up and satellite are my only options. At least I thought they were my only options until I saw an ad for AT&#038;T&#8217;s usb modem. I can use that modem to hop on AT&#038;T&#8217;s cell phone network with my laptop. Verizon Wireless has a similar modem. I would probably stick with Verizon. The plan I would choose runs about $60 per month. My dial up plan at toast.net is about $10 per month. I haven&#8217;t been ready to spend that extra $50 a month, but with the 4G network I think I may be ready. The 4G plan is also cheaper than the 3G. The 4G plan is $50 a month for 5 gig of bandwith or $80 for 10 gig. Toast.net is not bad, but downloading and uploading anything larger than a few meg is painful. With 4G, you can download a 2 hour movie in 5 minutes. Watching videos and listening to music online with dial up is extremely painful. My favorite channel, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.soapnet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SoapNet<\/a>, will be no longer in 2012, so I may end up having to watch my soaps online. <br \/>\nWhen my cell phone contract is up a year from now, I think I&#8217;m also going to go for a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;field-keywords=smartphone&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;tag=zofxare-20&amp;url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;linkId=YZZFZZYTXTW7WJ2J\" rel=\"noopener\">smartphone<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=zofxare-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/>, maybe a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;field-keywords=Droid&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3ADroid&amp;tag=zofxare-20&amp;url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;linkId=RITIHVP7AGVLVHFQ\" rel=\"noopener\">Droid<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=zofxare-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/>.
