My next flight abroad, I'm only booking an airline with WiFi.
Last year on a trip to the UK, I found that using the data connection on My
T-Mobile phone I was never charged for any data fees. Dialup speed but it
worked.

Looks like a Toyota FJ70, they never imported those into the US.
A bad front end bearing? A seal?

Who has some decent packages for this? I'd like to do some extending
exploring around some of the old western Spanish trails via 4x4, but I need
decent speed Internet. Anything better than dialup.
