Wireless Broadband for both a Pocket PC and a Laptop: How to compare providers in my area? I am planning on getting both a PDA (Pocket PC) and a Laptop. My understanding is that a big part of this choice has to do w the Wireless Broadband Provider - Sprint, Verizon, Cingular, etc. I have been told that each provider has its own 'hardware' - towers, etc. So, signal strength varies from one carrier to another. That is a big deal. How do I determine which providers are better and which are worse in my area ? (North Metro Atlanta - 30076). I don't travel very often, and if I do, it's to other larger cities in the US. 99% of my connection time will be in/around Atlanta. I have also been told that I should / have to get both of these from the same provider (the PDA service and the Wireless Broadband service for my laptop). The PDA will be my cell phone, also. Please enlighten me.

How do I connect my laptop to our home Broadband Internet connection? Have just bought a Dell laptop and want to be able to connect to the Internet (broadband) in our house, but is there any way to do this without having to physically connect it to the PC?

What is the cheapest and best Broadband Package? Please can somebody advise me on the cheapest broadband deal. I am currently with BT Broadband, and I pay £15.99 per month, plus my quarterly BT service fees of around £36. A friend has recommended that I switch to Sky Broadband, as they reckon I will save money. However, there are so many packages that I am totally confused as to which would be the best one for me. So this is what I need to know: a. My mum is also paying a separate BT phone bill, so how could we save money here? b. Our current Sky Package for the ordinary TV is £32.00 per month, so how would signing up to Sky Broadband affect this amount? c. If I cancelled my BT Broadband line (which is connected upstairs in my bedroom), would we need a Sky engineer to come out and re-connect both my mum's phone downstairs and also my own Broadband connection? I hope you can help, as we really do need to save money here. Thanks.
