sounds good, but what if you already ahve wireless installed at home? also i notice the charges will be 18euros for the wifi unit and then another 5 euros plus tax for registration.
Will there be any more charges after this?
Also what will be the range of this unti? Like say we are visiting london, then what is the possibilty of using the ntwork without break in connection?

not sure about the charges. 23 euros aint bad I suppose but will look into it in more detail

I'm guessing the range should be sufficient bc it is in there interest to offer connectivity and therefore charge for the privilege of using it. Though it will vary immensely from point to point due to local geography and architecture.

though this does go against many ISP's terms and conditions, since you will be using someone else's connection/ your selling your connection effectively for others - so if your providing it, and someone using your connection downloads bad stuff, like making a bomb guide, or things that could make you be tied into a criminal organisation, or even downloading movies or music - then you will be held responsible since it is your connection
