Vodafone do a 3G connection, but it's pretty pricey depending on the package you are on.

Some places do a satellite connection, but that's even more expensive.

I have found this offer 2 weeks ago and am very pleased about the service. You can get the umlimited 3g broadband card already for £23 + free data card. Alternatively zxou can choose a "Pay as You Go" Option for a flat fee of £8.50. http://www.vodafone-data-card.com

Cheers,

Their was a story in the bbc a few months back being charged for stealing bandwidth. It's just like stealing water, gas or electricity, as not everyone is deemed as being on an uncapped bandwidth, so they might actually be being charged for your bandwidth usage, especially if they over use thinking they aren't using much.

Easy enough to stop others from being abel to take it, with some protection (read the techie boards), but not everyone is technically minded.
