Best to check what's in your area first. Location plays a big part with Internet on the go. But some of the options are Mifi wireless routers that act as mobile Wi-Fi hotspots or get a tethering plan added to your phone line.

i looked into mifi and verizon's plan is 5 gb for $50. Don't know if that's a good one or not?

Clear and Sprint use to use 4G WiMax which sucked. Now they're movin into to 4G LTE. So they playing catchup with new tech.

T-Mobile 4G wireless tethering from Samsung Galaxy SII to Laptop running Firefox on Windows 7.
Of course, tethering is free...

Tethering is different on carriers but you almost always lose unlimited data unless you want to take the risk.
