Many smart phones such as Samsung Galaxy Note 2 now have the ability to set up a security enabled personal internet "hotspot". If it is not presently activated on your smart phone, call the provider and have it turned on, it's free. Type in the cell phone's network security key and password on your computer on the initial connection to your "hotspot" and you're good to go. On your cell phone you can name the devices (computers) you allow to use the cell phone's security enabled personal "hotspot". No one else around your "hotspot" will have access to it making it safe & secure.

I've used the "hotspot" feature for some time. Works great. Just picked up my new Samsung Galaxy S4, and changed our service to the 4G plan. That's with Verizon. We were paying about $220.00/month, now down to about $160.00/month for two smart phones.
