I think Verizon still offers that type service.   Only way I know to get service anyplace in country is via a cel phone type service.  Not cheap, but they do work well.   Any other wireless is dependant on being close to a "hot spot" such as a motel, airport, campground, or Starbucks.   Even then, some of them charge for their access.   Good Luck.
