    Most ISPs offer a free wireless router.

    Cheapest would probably be those who have their kit in your local exchange.

    You can check this on Samknows, do an exchange search.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Are you sure that you are not getting confused?

    Are you after mobile broadband, rather than wireless?
    Move along, nothing to see.

    Can i not get wireless with this then? If i would have to go for mobile broadband which would be a good offer?

    You can get wireless broadband, but you'll most likely need a BT based landline and then pay for broadband on top - though you cannot access it outside your home

    You can get broadband which is connected to a BT line or a cable. This can be used wirelessly is you have the equipment.
    Mobile broadband does not require a land line or cable, but operates through a dongle on you pc.

    All the big companies now offer mobile broadband, but if you go down this route make sure you can get a signal where you will be using it most.
