I just got a trailer to live in to save money while going to school. I will be needing to get high speed internet for my trailer and did not know where to start. I will be taking online classes so I dont want a limit on the usage. I will not deal with wifi spots I just want my own internet signal. I will also be hooking up my xbox 360 to the internet because I also love my games. So the connection needs to be fast. Can anyone please help I am tired of reading were the best, but only at this speed or time.

Sounds like your choices are DSL or Cable broadband. Will you have access to either?

I am looking for a wireless system. I am not going to be in the same place for very much time. So I am looking for a moble system that does not cost me $7000 lol.

Well then you really have no choice except for cell service - and they come with a 5 gig monthly limit. Satellite service has limits and I'm pretty sure the latency would put you at a bit of a disadvantage when gaming  .

Wireless only has two options that I am aware of. Aircard from a cell phone company and satellite.
Aircard has the least initial investment and can be very fast if you have a good connection. It does have a 5gb per month limit, so that could be problematic for you.
Satellite can cost anywhere from $1000-$5000 and more in an initial investment. A tripod system is the least expensive and most versatile compared to a roof mounted satellite system.
I have a hughes satellite that I setup on a tripod. They have various pricing plans, each with their own limits. There is no monthly limit, but there is a MB limit per 24 hour period. Mine is 200 mb per 24 hour period. Other plans are higher.
Now that doesn't mean I can only download 200 mb in an hour. I use a monitor which helps me keep from going over that, while still watching videos and downloading other content.
Satellite speed is hit and miss sometimes. Sometimes it is slow, sometimes is screams.
I am sure I can think of a dozen more points to type, but my hands hurt LOL

Look at Sprint mobile broadband. I use it all the time and it has great speed with no limits. Go here and check to see if you have coverage in your area. http://www.sprint.com/business/products/products/evdoEnterZip.jsp

They ALL have a 5gb limit. You might have an old account and be grandfathered in, but they all have a limit now.

Looks like Sprint offers unlimited only in 4G areas, which aren't that widespread. If you are in a 3G area, which most of us are, then you still have a 5gb limit.

Direcway is satellite and requires a very high initial investment.

Guys - he is a gamer - his avatar will be dead before he knows someone is behind him or he'll run into a brick wall on a race course because he didn't turn in time. The 2-second lag will be literally a killer!
