Paul,
 
No matter what provided your home WiFi is faster than 7.2Mb then you're WiFi
is a faster choice.
 
7.2Mb is currently the fastest that mobile internet can go in this country,
and that is pretty scares, other locations at best 1.2Mb or so and that is
on 3G. So provided the WiFi hot spot is connected faster than 1.2Mb you're
all but guaranteed that to be the faster route.

If you have Vodafone's unlimited Internet package I think it is currently
500mb a month, it may be 800mb but quite a bit for most people.  You might
use it all if you download podcasts and stuff like that.
 
I think they charge you a £1 per day once you have exceeded your limit.  So,
they say it is unlimited but it isn't really.
 
Anyway, unless you have 3g or 3.5g service in your area, you would be better
using wireless as it is faster in most cases.
 
Someone else correct me if I am wrong.

Neil
I think the best thing is to wait until the person who set it up for me is
available again.  He cannot understand me wanting to access my e-mails
through my phone and that does not help.  Yet he is a PC software buff and
that is his job.  I can use my Vodafone contract at present I am just afraid
I will end up with a big bill but I have checked with them again and they
say it is unlimited internet access.  What worries me is that my nephew had
a contract with them and he maintained they were charging him more every
month and that he had not used up all his allowances but then maybe that was
just him.  
 
Yes I have a security set up in my home one.  I must just find the bit of
paper and then I'll be fine.  I think it is usually a very large number like
25 letters and numbers or maybe it is smaller like 10, I am not sure.

Eleanor,
 
Without the other information you'll not be able to set it up, when you
connect your PC or laptop to the wireless hub are you asked for a security
key? do you know what this is? how many characters long is it?
 
This might help me guess which protocol it uses, do you have any information
from BT about how to connect to it, did they tell you anything?
