Current ISP abandoning that market ;/

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

*NO* *NEVER* !!!!!!!
PLEASE _READ_ second paragraph. <chuckle>
PS Did I make any claim/hint/whatever to being considered 'normal'? [snicker]

 *and* a mobile 3G/4G modem.  The wireless
thing will be severely restricted in the the amount of data you
can move through it.

Possibly true. Depends on definition of "severely" ;)

 Typically 5-6 GBs per month.

You optimist. Locally available plans I would consider top out at 2 GB.

It will be expensive if you go over the limit.

And your point is? ??? ;/

 Cable or DSL will have
drastically higher data caps, and are more reliable generally.


Yes, *BUT* . Did I not EXPLICITLY state I did *NOT* wish to be constrained to my residence?

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

so? ?????????????????
