Networking / Internet connectivity device

[wpshooter]

Does any vendor currently offer a wireless Internet connectivity device that will give the user the ability to connect either a REAL desktop computer or REAL laptop computer (as opposed to one of those johnny come lately, ipads, tablets, iphones, etc., etc. devices) to the Internet with unlimited and unmonitored (i.e. not throttled back after a certain amount of usage) data usage with an AFFORDABLE monthly price and that does not require the user to have to have a home based telephone line (similar to DSL) or a wireless telephone system included in the deal as offered by Verizon ?

Just need ability to unlimited use of Internet - do not need telephone services or anything else.

Thanks.

As a representative of the NSA I can assure you that whatever connection you choose, it won't be monitored.

Answer: no.

The reason: It doesn't fit their business model. They like metered billing. They like overage charges. Comcast is re-implementing caps, this time with overages.

Thanks for your reply.

The reason I ask is because today I was in an electronics store and a guy in there was pointing out some brand of "Hot Point" device and was trying to tell me that I could use it to get UNLIMITED Internet connectivity, I did not think he knew what he was talking about, so I thought I would ask.

Thanks.

Plenty of companies offer "Unlimited". But that's different from "unlimited".

"Unlimited" is a marketing term. "unlimited" is a real word with a meaning.

"Unlimited" usually means. "Limited, but only at a point where most people won't care, and we won't tell you where"

Unlimited play on the users' psychology and wishful thiking rather than reality.

Most connection are Unlimited. However, in users mind Unlimited connection means Unlimited bandwidth with limited fee.

In the ISP mind it is Unlimited Bandwidth with Unlimited pay.
