We now stay in a World where everybody wants to be connected to the internet every time. It is almost impossible for a person to go out without wanting to get connected to the internet. To be able to read your mails, visit social networks, chat with your friends and all sorts of things. We all feel like the internet is not optional at this point.


Today's post is not to tell you whether it is good or bad to be connected to the internet at all times. But rather to show you the things that you need to be connected at all times, whether you are at home or on the road. The whole idea is that it's becoming cheaper and easier to stay connected anywhere. I am here to show you how to have internet anywhere you go. 

Get the Internet Anywhere Using 4G

If it is available in your area, you are going to want to grab all of these devices with 4G capability. The substantial improvement to data speed is noticeable  and if you are planning on doing any heavy data lifting while on the go, you will most certainly appreciate having the additional speed.

Smartphone

It is obvious that a smartphone is one of the best way to stay connected to the internet. Almost all smartphone has a web browser and an app store which keeps you connected as you move round the world. Even some smartphones has the ability to be used overseas, that means you can be connected to the internet even if you are traveling.

Tethering

A smartphone can help you stay connected, but you can move a step further where you can now share your smartphone connection with another device. This is made possible with the rise of tethering. Before tethering was prohibitively expensive, but now, many mobile carriers now give you the ability to tether right in the default data plan.



Do you have a jailbroken iPhone, apps like MyWi can help you to tether without a data plan, it is obvious that this could upset your mobile carrier, so you need to be careful when you want to elect this route There are similar apps on Android as well.Tethering is a great way to bring the internet anywhere you are.

Mobile Hotspots & USB Dongles

Also, if you do not want to use your smartphone to get internet connection, you can also get a Mobile Hotspot device.In the US, there are actually companies offering a limited amount of data without any monthly cost. Both NetZero and FreedomPop offer a small amount of data free, and incredibly cheap plans if you need more data.
Personally, I have a FreedomPop USB stick, and I cannot complain; 500MB of free data is just enough to handle basic tasks on the go when I need it.


The major carriers also provide Hotspots devices, but with and without a long term contract you won't be getting any free data. But the service provided will be reliable.



There are two major types of mobile data devices but each has it's own pros and cons, this little breakdown should help you to be able to know which one is good for you.

Mobile Hotspot:

Pros

• Multiple devices can connect to one hotspot
• Can connect devices without USB

Cons

• Needs a dedicated power outlet if battery runs out
• Other can connect without permission if you don’t have security in place

USB Dongle:

At times mobile data plans don't do the job but if you follow the first step and get a smartphone, you can always find a Wi-Fi, and be able to get internet even if mobile data plans is not available. There are apps that can do this on iOS, Android, and any other operating system, so if all else fails, you can always find Wi-Fi in your area.
