 If you Google for Verizon Broadband, you should get the details. 
  
 From memory, it costs $49.95 for the card for your laptop and that's really 
 all you need. Then, it costs $59.95/month if you have a cellphone with 
 Verizon, or $79.95/month if you do not. 
  
 We used this system all down the East coast - It worked well, but there were 
 pockets where there was no coverage and definitely many areas away from 
 large centers where connections were slow - It seems to automatically switch 
 from hi-speed technology to slow speed where the newer technolgy does not 
 exist. 
  
 Regarding the Bahamas, only low cost way, is to use the free hot spots - 
 They do exista nd we have used them. Anyone know if there is a list 
 somewhere?

 Tell us about the plan that you got from Verizon for internet connection. 
 How much does it cost a month and what kind of coverage do they have?
