Loading ...So I'm getting some of the details worked out for my departure to Germany on December 6. One of the things I'm working on right now is figuring out the whole Internet access thing and what my options are.
Since I'm going to be living over there and still running my business and the VACOC, I need to have my own Internet access for the laptop. I don't want to depend on wifii hotspots or have to go to the Internet cafe every time I want to work, and especially not when I can work in the comfort of my own home there (although, at this point, it's completely empty except for the bed so far, LOL.).
I've used hotspots before and such over here, but it's not really recommended security-wise as they are hacker-prone. Also, I don't know how this will work, but I want access to English/American Internet, not German since I don't know German (I seem to only remember the bad words my boyfriend teaches me, LOL).
An aircard (also known as mobile broadband) is my first preference. That way, it's my own Internet account and I can have my own Internet access no matter where we are. With an aircard, wherever you can get a cell phone signal, you'll have your own private Internet access. Plus, we'll also be doing some touring and traveling on my guy's days off and I plan to do a bit of my own as well.
At first, I thought I could just get some special kind of international aircard for the time that I'll be there, but they want to lock you into a two-year contract. I don't want to pay $140/mo for two years since I won't be living over there continuously.
Then I thought maybe I should just wait until I get there and see what kind of Internet aircard/mobile broadband plans they offer over there. But I don't know what kind of commitments they're going to want.
So anyone have ideas? Have you lived abroad or do you live abroad and have some kind or mobile broadband/aircard service you use? What are my options?
(PS: Would love to hear from you, Sylvia!)
Let me...
