Broadband cards

Have you thought about wireless broadband? I'm thinking of getting it, which then means, I can take my laptop anywhere I want, and still have internet connection, because it bounces of satelites. It would also allow my partner to still use the internet at home too!

I don't have any experience with this. But from the little I know... If you have broadband ADSL... which require a phone line to connect... it won't work... as you need to register the phone line you are using with your service provider... and that cost money. If you have wireless ADSL... that might work... as long as there is a wireless service where you are. The beaut thing about the old fashion dial up was that you could go anywhere and plug your modem in any phone line at zero cost. If you are going there for less than a month... you might consider opening a dial up account for a month. Some service offer the first month free as a trial period... so it cost you nothing. I did that in the past.
