Kick Your Costly Mobile Connections

It's nice to be able to link to a speedy Wi-Fi connection at your local Starbucks or McDonald's, but having subscriptions to multiple services may be costing you more than they're worth. The good news is alternatives are available that may offer better value and flexibility.

Wireless broadband may be able to deliver adequate connectivity in more locations, but not necessarily at a lower cost than a single Wi-Fi subscription. Combination subscriptions that include both Wi-Fi and wireless broadband may be a good alternative. Companies like iPass offer the ability to use the best connection available at the moment, or direct you to the nearest service, for a single subscription price. For even more impact, keep the subscription linked to your laptop.
