No Card Needed

• If you've got a laptop that doesn't support a PC mobile broadband card, you can still use a USB wireless modem. You'll find that there isn't that much difference in upload and download speeds when compared to being "wired" into a network.
  
  

Service Necessary

• Even with a USB wireless modem, you still need a carrier to provide service. Many carriers will sell you the USB wireless modem that works best with their company.
  
  

On the Go

• A USB wireless modem works well for the individual who's always on the move and doesn't want to have to constantly seek out mobile WiFi locations. It's convenient and dependable.
  
  

Rural Areas
