[Cialug] OT: Cheapest Internet

[Matthew Nuzum]

Thanks, good tips! I saw at Walmart that they have an "Internet to go"
hotspot for about $75 and you can money to it that never expires. $45 gets
you 3GB, for example. When you use up your MB you add more. It uses
Sprint's network.

Anyone tried this?
