Hi I'm going to answer both your messages here. Firstly, last year I went to the local orange internet shop here in France, they themselves went onto the internet typed in my area code (post code) and found that not one supplier would give me broadband here at all as I am too far from the exchange. There is mobile broadband but it is too expensive. I am already paying for dialup so I'll just have to install the same software on to my new netbook using the usb modem. It seems simple enough but as I just said to George, an english modem would work perfectly but where do I get a usb dialup modem from? I did some research yesterday on the internet but couldn't find anything that looks like dialup it is all wireless. Would you guys please let me know where I can get one in the uk?

When you say that there isn't any broadband available are you referring to Cable broadband or the standard broadband in which you need a BT line. Surely one of those options must be available? -------------------------------------------------- From: "Ibrahim Gucukoglu" <ibrahim_gucukoglu@xxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 7:59 AM To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [access-uk] Re: Info on usb modems > Hi Adrian. > > Your only option really is Mobile broadband, this you can get from the > major mobile networks and a couple of the smaller ones too.
