Cheapest Option for internet Service in OKC?

[tranger2]

My aunt is in assisted living and no one lives in her house is empty. I am selling numerous items on Ebay for her and used to drag items to my house in order to take pictures and do the listings. I recently took a desktop to her house and plan to do everything from her house. I need to find the cheapest internet service options available. At my house, I have to use a private wifi company since nothing else if available so I don't know anything about Cox, ATT, etc. The internet at her house is not for gaming, watching movies or downloading music. It is ONLY to access ebay. What is the cheapest option I have?

Oh, and I don't need it for a 2 year commitment, 1 year at the most....

Can you tether to your cell? Make a mobile hot spot.

That's not cost effective unless you have an unlimited data plan.

If he's only using it for eBay at this house, he won't need unlimited.

I agree with the cell phone, my wife and I use mine all the time when traveling. We hook up our laptops and Kindles to my cell's wifi and crazy go nuts. The last time we spent a 4-5 days in Texas at my mom's house (no internet) we were busy on the net all the time and only jumped about a half a gig or so of bandwith, we have 10 gigs a month and never ever get close to a gig a piece a month. Works great, PCs never seemed to slow even watching tube and FB videos.

It's fine for this, and you didn't bother to suggest any alternatives anyway.

What cell phone carrier do you use? Tethering is probably the way to go. I think the cheapest you'll be seeing is ~$40/mo (after tax/fees) from Cox and probably the same from AT&T if they still require you to get a voice line.

AT&T has something like a $30 plan, but it's not fast or anything special. Just cheap internet.

Working with your cellular service. Then you can be dang near anywhere and still access the internet. We have a Verizon MiFi that we can stick in my pocket and take off somewhere and work on the computer. The same can be done with the right phones and cell service.
