wifi AND verizon broadband

I'm going to be working from home soon and my work is giving me a laptop that has a WIFI card in it. I will use that when I'm at home to connect to my home internet "cable" connection.

They are also going to be purchasing the Verizon broadband card "well I believe they are" so I can hopefully have internet connection when i'm not home or at least where there is coverage. There broadband coverpage maps are not too too bad.

There is a cost to this - something like $60 a month.

Anyways I can have both cards in the laptop and be able to utilize both WIFI and the Verizon broadband right? Anything I should know about?

You should be fine, though you might have to disable your wifi when you use the broadband card.

The Verizon card comes with connection manager software. It will coexist with your wifi no problem.
