Re: new laptop owner questions


A wireless router is only a short range device, usually to enable
connection through the house and not over a vast distance.

The best bet would be to enquire... or even do a Google search for the
relevant area for Internet Service Providers (ISPs). For example in the
UK we can Google for an ISP and if we enter a Post or Zip code it'll
tell us what services are available and the maximum speed we can expect.

There is also Broadband available directly via a satellite but this is
very expensive and is usually used for businesses... ideal for when you
are out of range of phone and cable services and may not be available
globally, this would be the only option available in this situation -
don't get confused with Sky TV and broadband as you still need a phone
line here.

Best thing is to do a check.
