Good internet access while travelling in the USA

In the past this has been an issue. But, last trip at Radio Shack I bought one of these Virgin Broadband2Go devices. The rates have now decreased so that on this trip I am paying just $40 for a month of unlimited access. The coverage is pretty good although it is occasionally slow at remoter locations.
