Wireless question

Sorry if this is a silly question to those that have wireless - when your using wireless at home, are you limited to a certain amount of minutes?

The reason that I ask is the BT package that I am looking at says 250 BT Openzone minutes a month - does that just mean when I use it away from the house?h

    When you're at home you won't use BT OpenZone; you will use your own broadband connection and create your own 'hotspot' by using a wireless router. This connects to your phone line and has a transmitter built in so you can connect it to your laptop.

    If you use your laptop outside your home then you will have to connect using BT OpenZone or one of the other 'hotspot' providers. Alternatively, you could connect using a mobile phone/mobile data card.
