Greetings!

We will be visiting the USA and Canada for a month in September/October (three weeks USA, one week Canada). Generally touring around seeing the sights.

I seek the advice of the Forum with regard to mobile broadband/internet access.

Here in the UK it’s quite simple to buy a Pay As You Go (PAYG) package comprising of a dongle that is pre loaded with software and some credit that can then be topped up as required. Costs here are about £30 ($48) for the dongle which includes £10 ($16) credit, then a flat rate of £2 ($3.20) per day, £7 ($11.20) per week or £15 ($24) for 30 days unlimited connection. [These rates are for UK T-Mobile, though other operators in the UK offer similar deals].

Are such PAYG deals available in the USA/Canada as this would work out much cheaper for us rather than having to pay hotel internet connection charges?

Any help and advice much appreciated.

Nigel.
