Backup for internet access.

I hope everyone in the path of the storm is recovering well.

Yesterday I tried to get our systems online with a generator.  That was 
no problem.  But I was hampered by not being able to get internet 
access.  Our previous plans included using a cell phone for internet 
access.  This worked in the past, but this time the service during the 
outage was horrible.  Turns out that AT&T's old 3G and 4G service just 
isn't keeping up.  I didn't have a 4G-LTE phone which is supposed to be 
better, but I did have a T-Mobile Samsung unit.  Thing is this will not 
tether to an XP machine without certain drivers and I couldn't download 
them through the AT&T phones I had.  I was able to connect to a laptop 
with Windows 7, but I couldn't get the LAN to be able to access this 
service.

What do other people use and what should I be looking at for internet 
access during such a situation?
