I am using a cell phone modem - verizon, it costs way too much but beats the hell out of dial-up

5G for $50 and I think they have a plan that gives 10G for $80, I wish I could swing that extra 30 bucks because I do seem to be going over a fair amount (especially with things like political conventions and debates LOL)

I am really hoping unlimited data plans come back. 2 of my kids have them for their phones but I was a luddite cheapskate on dial up for so long and waited a year too long to finally make the move.

Verizon has a superfast network in the big city but where I live I am lucky to get over 3 Mbps. However after 10 years at 24 Kbps I am cool with that.
and for that between the land-line and the service I was already paying $35-40. Gave up the land line entirely. Use an OLD regualar dumb cell phone for a phone.
