Im going to Europe for a month in the next ten days. And Im looking for a way to get internet connection on my laptop wherever I go. Like airports and different countries. I have verizon so maybe they have something ? Im imagining some kind of usb you plug in your computer and can get internet without any routers?

Answer 1 :
Some airports do offer free internet access, you need an ethernet cable, not a usb cable. You plug in and open your browser. Some have wifi too, same system, the internet provider is the airport's own. Hotels usually make you pay for internet access, they have either wifi or cable. Same thing, you just plug in your computer and open your browser, the internet provider is the hotel's own. You can also leave the laptop at home and go to internet cafes to log in from time to time.
Answer 2 :
Lol, yes lugging a laptop around for a month is really impractical. You find internet cafes almost everywhere. Otherwise you would need a USB modem, but that's like mobile phone so you'd be like phoning international and it comes really expensive.
Answer 3 :
As Cabal told you, there are some free internet points at either airports or hotels and some that you have to pay for. The Hotel Verona, for example, offers free internet in Verona, Italy. He also told you about the internet access points that are widely available in many places here in Europe. However, there are also USB keys for internet here. I only use mine at home though and use public access points if I'm out visiting. They're generally faster access and can be cheaper. You also don't need to lug your laptop around with you when you're out exploring. The major phone providers here all have USB internet keys with prepaid SIMS. Wind, 3, Vodafone, and TIM all have them in Italy: http://www.tim.it/consumer/google/o104087/tariffa.do?gclid=CKTyguyv-KICFcKQ3wod-hlFjg , http://www.tre.it/public/internet_mobile.php?gclid=CNiKpoSw-KICFU2S3wodE3q_hg There are similar offers from other providers here and in other countries around Europe.
