1. Sattelite phone service is from 5 to 25 dollars per minute so it's doubtful you will do this.
2. Next up are Cell Phone data links. Nowhere as pricey, but you get to visit the local (bigger) cell phone stores and duke it out with them.
The issue is called "the last mile". It's the most pricey stretch of the delivery system.

Hello, I was wondering what services there are out there that I could ask about. I am in need of an ISP that I can connect to anytime, anywhere with my laptop.
most likely it would be a satillite service of some kind but can anyone give me any good ISPs website or numbers that that dont charge a bundle, i live in the southern california area as a side note. A high speed connection would be preferred as well. Is there such a thing? any and all help would be greatly appriciated!!
