HangTheDJ Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 My family are moving house on Monday. We're not getting internet installed until Xmas eve. This is an inconvenience. I know this is a longshot, but I have a Blackberry. Is there any way I can get my laptop to pick up my mobile broadband so I can browse the web. Cheers.

J. Edgar Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 I've done tethering on my Blackberry and it was painfully slow. You tried scanning to see if there are any unsecured networks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HangTheDJ Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Nah, I won't know until I move in. But it's a densely populated area so I'm hopeful there's one I can latch on to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
