would this be a good network?

I want to get a little wireless network card for my laptop but If i cancel my home net then get an adapter for my PC then networked it to a router for home use would that be slow? I don't want my online games or ps3 to suffer. I just want to be able to take my laptop with me and use it all the time but just don't want to pay for 2 isps.

Way too slow with quite high lag, definitely wouldn't be suitable for online gaming.

X2, I have a wireless router in my house and I went out and bought over 100' of cat5 cable to run to the back of the router so my computer would be halfway fast.

That isn't what he means, he wants to use something like Verizon Wireless data plan at home so he doesn't have a home ISP and a mobile ISP.

i have everything wired to the router now but was thinking if I could get rid of cable modem and just use a sprint or verizion card in my pc and switch to a laptop on the go. I hate wireless routers for gaming but just dont know how the cards from sprint are.
