If you get a USB type it will work at home or in a laptop. The one I had from Verizon worked under Winders as well as Ubuntu Linux.
Be very careful about the amount you download. The service plan I had was 5GB. There are service plans with even less (250MB if I recall correctly).
Also, be careful about roaming. Data roaming is super expensive. I live really close to Canada, and I had to make sure my card didn't try to connect to a tower up there. Fortunately, the software would warn me. I don't know if you're close to Mexico, or if the cell data services are even compatible, so this may not be a problem for you.

Check out Clearwire at
Clear.com High Speed Mobile / Wireless Internet Service Provider
That is if you live in a metro area. Texas is one of the best states for WiMAX coverage. I have it and am happy so far. I would recommend looking at it.
