Question: Wi-Fi / Wireless Internet in Austin

I'm currently paying $79.99, actually $85 after various charges, for Verizon
Wireless broadband. Is there a better (reliable but cheaper) high-speed
Wi-Fi or Wireless Internet deal in the Austin area (preferably Texas or
wider if possible).

I'm leery about relying on free Wi-Fi, since it may constrain where I use
my computer.

Thanks,

Jerry
