Quite impressed with EE. I phoned them cos my old modem wouldn't work with my new 64 bit system. Chappie said they'd send me a wireless router foc and it would take 3-5 days. Well today was the 4th day and the router arrived! I haven't been able to connect wirelessly as the new computer doesn't seem to offer that option but I'll get that sorted soon as I've been offered someone's old laptop.

No email at present either as I've got to set that up anew (no IE on here) but all my contacts are on my old hard drive so I'll pop into my local computer fixit man and get him to drag them onto a memory stick or something.

But it's such a relief to be online again!

You will be fine on Ethernet, but if you want to use wireless, you just need a wireless dongle/adapter that plugs into a spare USB port.
The real advantages come when you are using 3G phones, tablets or laptops.
Set any phones up to use wireless networks and it saves a fortune on 3G charges.
My PC is on Ethernet, but we now have a laptop, a netbook, three 3G Samsung Galaxy phones and a Samsung Tablet linked via wireless any time they are needed.
