    Not entirely clear on what you're saying but my guess is that you want to know whether your sister can access her broadband connection from your parents.

    The answer is no, as the broadband is assigned to a telephone line.

    However if your parents have their own Broadband, she may be able to use that if you can plug their modem into the laptop.
