I have been thinking about upgrading my cell service and just doing away with my current cable based internet but I am concerned about my usage using the cell phone to receive data.
My wife and I each have a computer but don't download much at all.
I assume the cell phone can act as a modem and be connected via a wireless router like I have now to get on the internet.
If I drop the cable (don't watch most of the crap on the cable anyway) and still want to watch movies for example I read somewhere that a typical download for an HD movie is 2 GB? Is that a compressed file or what your data will reflect when downloaded? I do like to watch movies and I am concerned that I can spend a lot of money downloading the stuff from whatever service.
I am handicapped and getting older so it's getting tougher and tougher for me to get out and about. I would like to save some money over the $190 I spend now for internet and CATV. That of course is in addition to our basic cell phone service that we don't use much now of course which runs $64 a month.
