You can get a wireless connection
Hubby's wireless cost him £20.00 from PC world (but that's just the equipment and software for the lap top) but then that connects wireless to our home internet hub.
You can also connect to the internet in some hotels etc where there is wireless but I think you have to have your own ISP etc
Don't know if that helps you at all (We have just put OH lap top wireless so still learning)

My friend lives on a long boat and has recently (about 3 weeks ago) bought a laptop from PC World that will allow them to connect to the internet. It works a bit like WAP on a mobile. I think the laptop cost her about £800 though.
