Stu-le-brew Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Hi,Well when we first arrived in France I used my Laptop with a mobile phone (talking to a UK ISP) this is expensive and very slow (9.6Kbytes) but does keep you in touch with the rest of the world.This is the only sensible way forward, other than using a two way satellite link which would be very expensive indeed. normally you would only uses satellite for the download and then your would need a phone line for the up linkhope this makes sencebest regardsStu in the Lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patmobile Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 If you can find a wireless hotspot near where you are, you could connect with a laptop equipped with a wireless network card. I think this is a lot cheaper than using a mobile - faster too. And, if you're lucky, the hotspot might be in a decent cafe where you wouldn't mind hanging around anyway.There's a website (can't remember the name) that lists all the known hotspots in FrancePatrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
