You can get cable where it is available or an air card if it's not.

How do the air cards work?
Through a cell phone service. They plug into your USB port.

I have DSL right now through my phone co which has recently changed and ever since its hit or miss sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Im really disgusted with it :BangHead:

That is wireless, just a different company. They all use a USB or PCMCIA card that plugs into your laptop. Be careful you check on limits, some are pretty low. Also see how fast they are and check the coverage. For your main connection it's hard to beat a cable modem though.
