Poke around on this Verizon site a bit. Several months ago I posted, asking about satellite service for my friend, who now lives and travels in a motor home. You're actually getting more polite responses about satellite internet than I did, and then somebody mentioned the Verizon wireless access cards. That's what she decided to try, and, with just a couple of exceptions, she's been really happy with the choice. In her case, I think she wasn't able to get service in a couple of remote areas where there were mountains, but mostly it's been fine and a couple of times has been able to go online even when she couldn't get a cell signal. If your mother is wanting access from home, I figure it would either work consistently or not at all.
