Wireless Internet on the road - in Canada
I posted about this in CTH a while ago with mixed results. I thought maybe there'd be some Zoo dwellers with some experience.
I'm going to be doing a lot of travelling this summer, much of it with the family in our motor home. I'm wondering what kind of options I might have for Internet on my laptop. I won't be in major cities much, but also not in the middle of the bush either...smaller cities, for the most part. Ideas I thought of:
1) WIFI, likely not going to work anywhere but major cities?
2) Cellular, plug laptop into cell phone? I have a Blackberry.
3) Satellite?
4) ???
Just wondering if any fellow Canadians have had any ACTUAL experience with any of the above options. When I looked into cellular (I'm with Telus), one of the decently priced options was for 250 MB/month, but I think that would be used up fairly quickly. I was hoping to do some web surfing, and MAYBE some poker playing, but that might not be realistic. Email I get on my Blackberry already.
