To compare, 100Mb/s sync fiber (unlimitedd, and with IP phone, static public IP and IPTV) to the house cost around 80 USD/month but is not available all places.<br> So, my conclusion is that Internet access over the mobile network is practical when you really need to check something and you are far away from a landline.
