you need to get a broadband wireless router (check with your cable supplier for specs - you may need to buy one with a built in modem like me)

you then need to buy a laptop with built in wi-fi or just do what i do and buy a wi-fi dongle off e-buyer for under a tenner. You plug this in to any laptop with a usb port and it receives broadband from the wireless router.

I bought a BT voyager 2100 router/modem- because it was the easiest to set up. about £60 fron scan.co.uk at the time. This may be the wrong thing for you though - again check with your broadband/cable supplier.
