The last time I asked the installation costs were over $2500. :(

You could go for a mobile broadband deal. A 500MB/month download on a
basic network goes for about �5/month these days in the UK. Some
networks offer pay as you go but you have to buy the network dongle.

I expect there are similar deals on offer in the USA.

It also works via a normal Nokia cellphone.
My Nokia is somewhat a better at making connections then the Vodafone (Huawei) dongle.
So I put the SIM card in the phone.
