As others have indicated there is no ONE thing that will get you 100% connectivity. But the aircards come really close. We've been with the Verizon aircard for a few years and find them to be able to connect most of the time.

We started out with just looking for WiFi hookups but found that process to be really spotty. Often as not the signal was not good enough to work well and or the price was too high. Or the connection was anything but user friendly!

Then went with the HughesNet satellite process. We just got tired of lugging the dish around and setting up. Also Hughes really doesn't seem to care whether you are a customer or not.

One of the features I like about the aircard is that you can connect while actually traveling down the highway. Of course the driver is NOT looking at the computer..... it is the passenger / navigator.

Good luck.
