staying online whilst no access to computer
"Janet Tweedy" wrote in message ... I am staying at a friend's house to help her with her garden in a couple of months but I really would like to stay online if I can. She doesn't have the Internet (long story) - is there a way I could buy something to plug into, say, my laptop so I could go on. I would like to show her the RHS site and pictures of plants etc. Only need it for about 2 or 3 weeks, don't mind paying, just have no idea of whether it's a possibility. Don't have smart phone so can't use that. When we are away from home, which we often are with work, we use a mobile broadband dongle from 3. It simply plugs into a USB port on the laptop. We have tried all the UK providers and the 3 network coverage and speed is best by far. Ours costs £15.99 per month but we are on the top rate because our usage for work and other related activity demands it; there are cheaper packages, starting at £7.50pm or PAYG, if you don't need that level of service. The dongle came free with our package, others may vary. Call in at a 3 shop or go to http://store.three.co.uk/ And no, we don't work for them or get commission, we're just satisfied customers Otherwise, you could get what you want for free if you have wireless networking on the computer. Go to somewhere like a Starbucks or some local government buildings like a library and you can often get a free wireless connection. If you don't have wireless built in you can get a usb adapter for that too for a few quid from PC World or the like. Or you could pay for an hour at an Internet cafe and use one of their computers to do the same. Do let us know how it goes -- -- http://www.shop.helpforheroes.org.uk/ |
