I'm using Cricket (at&t) version of boost mobile, they also don't offer tethering, eh the 178$ inital fee stinks, but my coworker will take it out of the rent I'm giving him, so it LL even out, and his place is a good 700 meters from the nearest neighbor, unless they have some serious signal boost, I don't think it would be an option. And I'm using a PC, which can be a bit awkward to drag into a Starbucks to use the wifi lol, ill just wait till the DSL is an affordable option. Good suggestions though guys thank you
