For those who want an internet backup for their system or access while out and about, Virgin mobile is now offering unlimited 3G access for 40/month prepaid, no contract. Virgin uses Sprint data network and if you are in an area where Sprint is good, this is a great deal. Verizon's no contract offer is twice this price for only 5gig of data. I use it in the NYC area for laptop and iPad access and it is pretty good. Not breakneck, but still pretty decent. http://www.virginmobileusa.com/mobile-broadband/broadband2go.html?intcmp=c-hp-pt3-usb-40ul
