OK, please understand I know little to nothing about computers, and have a question. I have a Sony Vio laptop and currently am using broadband, I have a wireless router and can use my laptop anywhere in my home, but lately I have heard that you can buy a card for your laptop and receive the receive off a satellite anywhere you go. Yes you have to pay a monthly service fee , but you receive the Internet anywhere and not off other wireless that you just happen to pick up. My question is where do you contact to get this service, Does anyone know the name of a company that does this? I live in a very rural area and our local Internet supplier is definitely not that advanced. thanks for the help and taking time to read my post.
 
There are paid networks and probably paid satellite networks that work via a data card where you pay a subscription to use that service. All of the major cell phone networks have these data cards now.

this is the one I am looking for, my cell phone works on a tower, not satellite so I am not sure if that is the right place or not, the reason I want the satellite instead of tower is the rural area I live in my cell phone and everyone else around here, does not pick up to good allot of times and areas. You have to hold your arm up and hold your mouth just right while you are talking to keep the signal. lol
 
no coverage, we have checked with every major cell phone company and we get the best with US cellular, but still not great, so I am trying to find out if there is such a thing as satellite Internet that when you leave home you still get it, I know the phone companies have some kind of Internet you can do that with, but they relie on towers, and that will not work here, we really are in the boonies. No service from most all the companies and little from the ones we get.

Satellite Internet services are used in locations where terrestrial Internet access is not available, and also for users who move frequently.

Broadband Internet access via geostationary satellite is available almost worldwide, including vessels at sea and mobile land vehicles. Similar, but slower Internet service is also available through Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, however their coverage areas also include the polar regions at extreme latitudes, making them truly global.

End users must be aware of the different types of satellite communication systems and the technical issues involving each, such as latency and signal loss due to precipitation, in order to make informed decisions on which system will serve them best.

Blingo "satellite Internet" and you'll get lots of hits!!!
 
wireless internet would work fine. with the surfacinf of 4g technology, things will get better. Ask the providers in your place. they probably have answers to your question.
