I'm not sure if this helps but I used to have a Vodafone mobile broadband facility for €19.99 per month. This was a dongle which you plugged into your USB port on a laptop. I recently discovered that other suppliers were offering a multi-access capability, for the same price, with an upgraded modem. I have now moved to this, for the same price (ok, I had to sign an 18-month contract!) which one can install at the best location in the house, and up to 5 devices (laptop, netbook, Kindle Fire, phone etc.) can be plugged in simultaneously. Not only that, the actual wifi service has improved enormously (we're situated in the bog end of a south-eastern county with very limited stuff from telecomm suppliers!). No need for landline, and all the internet you could possible need!
