Surfing on holiday...

[philiporchardphiliporchard is verified member.]

I'm away for a week in a cottage in Yorkshire and want to be able to surf the web on my Macbook pro.

I have a Nokia n95...

does anyone know the best way for me to be able to surf while I'm away on my mac?

What options do I have?

Thanks

For using the N95 as a modem for Vodafone Mobile Broadband I found:

Nokia N95 As Broadband Modem - Vodafone eForum

I believe you can use PAYG on Vodafone.

I have a Vodafone Mobile Broadband stick. In a 3G area it has been excellent (streaming video etc) but out of 3G it is extremely slow, on a par with dialup or slower.

If you are in the sticks you may not have mobile broadband coverage at all, so consider taking a dialup modem instead as at least you know that will work.

There's also something called BT Fon which is surfing via other people's BT Home Hubs. You might be lucky and have one of those available (you'd probably have to be very lucky though ...)

I have an o2 stick and a t-mobile stick both on pay as you talk, and i find the o2 is best built up area's and the t-mob in raural area's.

Fon is International, well I've used it around Europe at least...

If you are in the sticks you might have to wait until you are in range of a McDonald's
