I do not wish DSL, cable, nor satellite as they restrict me to one
physical location.

I was assuming that meant connecting via cell network.
Is that correct?
What questions should I be asking?

Please note that I am strongly text, rather than graphics, oriented.

Comments &/or questions I should be asking.

Thank you.

You want Cable or DSL *and* a mobile 3G/4G modem. The wireless thing will be severely restricted in the the amount of data you can move through it. Typically 5-6 GBs per month. It will be expensive if you go over the limit. Cable or DSL will have drastically higher data caps, and are more reliable generally.

"Unlimited" wireless exists in theory, but it is still restricted, typically by throttling.
