Posted I have tried googling this, but it is hard when I don't know what it's called or if it exists! I have just moved to a flat with no internet, and have heard that you can get some sort of satellite internet connection thing, so you don't need a router or landline? Like a mobile gets internet, I suppose, only for a computer! Can it be done? How can it be done? What is it called? ____________________________________________________ tiny ball of rage. hilarious, condensed rage - Snazz I never really lost my virginity... it just sort of eventually wore off - Chris Addison Um...

FatOigeon Yahr! Member	Posted Hide Post I think you're talking about WiMax. It sounds expensive though. Here's an overview of different connection options. ~ Gal-El You don't have to be a basketball player, you can be the president of the United States. ~ LeBron James.

Posted Hide Post It sounds like one of the wireless internet thingies that look like a flash drive that you plug into your computer. Maybe? A lot of cellphone companies carry them.

Posted Hide Post As for WiMax, I think you are limited to where it has already been installed, like in certain Départements in France. I think that Gaiman has talked about satellite internet on his blog already. I suppose it is rather expensive. The G+ key seems to be the most universal option, I'm guessing. But there too, you have to be able to connect to the 3G network. Good Luck! Jeremy ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ en boucle Claire Diterzi Fan Site "Come over here to where When lingers."

Posted Hide Post I've used one of the cellphone company ones a few times in a borrowed laptop -- it works wonders. If you have a cellphone, check with your provider first to see if they offer it -- you might be able to do a bundle. eta: And it is kind of expensive. _____________________________________________________________ Don't you realize?

Posted Hide Post I have one mobile broadband I'm looking at by 3, but I'll pop into my current phone provider on the way and ask if they do one too. The 3 one is £30 p/m for 15GB download limit. As it's 15 or 7, I think I'm going to need the 15. ____________________________________________________ tiny ball of rage. hilarious, condensed rage - Snazz I never really lost my virginity... it just sort of eventually wore off - Chris Addison Um...

supersnazz: fiend for rawk! has a beaver that talks Member	Posted Hide Post Over here there is a service called ClearWire, where the modem is a receiver of satellite signal rather than plugged into cable or phone lines. I'm sure there are companies doing the same thing in other places. ****************************************** Me in Rock: This Shirt Is Pants | Mr. Fusion Me in blog: izenmania
