G4 is a security company. 4G is the super fast internet.

(wi-fi is for connecting a computer to a wireless router, not for using the mobile phone network for an internet connection)

You may not need a dongle if your smart phone can be turned in to a 'wifi hotspot'.

My blackberry has 1GB data allowance and that is how I mostly use it up.

Let me rephrase. How can I connect my home computer (Mac mini) to the mobile phone network to access faster internet connection.

Chuck has given you a link for the required dongle.

I have given you the alternative option of connecting via your smartphone.
