If Internet Connection To Your Home Becomes Unreliable or Unavailable
Most major cell phone carriers offer a service called "Mobile Hotspot". This allows you to share your cell phone plan's internet with your home computer. Your home computer needs to have a wireless connection, and your cell phone provider generally will charge a fee for this service as well as conditions for data cost and use. This can be a valuable option if your primary Internet service at home becomes unreliable or unavailable.
