I need to get internet service on my laptop and don't want to pay for a landline. What are my options? I have Verizon for my cell phone. Do they offer that service?

I have verizon internet for my laptop, its a usb cellular modem and works very good, not cheap though. It cost $60 a month on top of my $60 monthly cell service.
Must be a standard rate for Verizon. Next door neighbor has the same setup and pays the same amount.
A relative moved to the sticks outside Reno, NV and found a local provider with a wireless internet service that covers houses within range of their various transceivers, mounted on utility poles. She said it was cheaper than satellite, and dial-up is too slow
By landline, do you mean a telephone line, or do you mean any wire reaching your house?
I have Internet service through a buried cable, and do not use them for TV or phone service.

You can take your laptop to an area with free wi-fi, like many restaurants, coffee houses and libraries. You can just park outside if you don't want to buy anything. Or maybe your neighbors forgot to set a password for their wireless system. I had to remind one of my neighbors that they should do that.
