Is there such thing? What companies offer this feature? How fast is the internet compared to wireless B?
I am going to be an international exchange student in a few weeks. I want to stay connected while I am there. 2 dollors an our at a cafe is not my idea of being connected. I would need some wort of unlimted plan at least. Or something that would let me connect at least 5 hours a day lol.

b/g are the most common. B is the industry standard though. All G is backwards compatible with B signals.

The only thing that should change in europe might be the freq. channels (usa we use mostly 6) in europe they user higher #;s (8-11). However, you card should adjust to that automatically.

I am talking about wireless broadband internet on a laptop.. NOT wifi.

well isn't it either WIFI or GPRS?
GPRS is part of GSM standard and should be available in other countries depending on country/provider.
GPRS is not cheap because you might have to buy a GPRS card and pay for traffic.
And you know about WiFi already.
There are might be WiFi providers in some urban areas depending on where you go.... -
Nah, it's South America. My hometown in USA doesn't have it. I am not being prejudice, my friend that lives there says that they do not.

haha then get ready for dial-up

If the area has cell service you may be able to get a card and log on. In the US, Sprint and Verizon offer such services. As far as international service, I don't think they're there yet.
