Hello Chris
I used to live in Australia before (2006) and had the wireless
facility where I can surf the net anywhere either when I am at home,
at work, riding public transport etc .IIRC my provider was iBurst
which give me surfing speed at that time 512 kbps to 1mbps. It was
pretty good connection .
I was using a sort of a PCI cardbus which they provide to their
customers .
I just have to insert that cardbus to the slot in my laptop and then
click the iBurst desktop icon then connect and that it.
Internet connection NO WIRES...anywhere. That was in Melbourne and
Victoria area.
