Immediate help needed... please...
Okay so my brother just bought himself a laptop and now we need to get him set up with internet access.
I'm asking for help - if I can get it - cos I'm basically an IT-idiot. I catch on quick though usually, but best to tell you that my starting point is 'idiot status'.
So I was thinking initially that mobile broadband would be the best option for him - and all I honestly know about mobile broadband is that you plug something in and can use it anywhere. This'd be good for him cos then he could use it at his house, my house and at college. However I have no idea how to check out coverage and all that malarkey. If I can't find anything out (through your help) I'll just look into getting him regular broadband at home and work out from there how to set him up to access my broadband at my house when he's with me.
So. If any of you can help me out, I'd be everso grateful. His birthday is this Friday and he's had the laptop for a couple of weeks now so I really need to get something sorted.
So if any of you think you can help - let me know - thanks =)
