   Wireless, if your laptop don't have it built in you can get a USB
port wi-fi and you are wireless.
  A lot of people that get a cable access just have the box put in the
closest location and they then hook up a wi-fi box to it and then put
a wi-fi box on all their computers in the house and their lap tops so
they don't have to run wiring throughout the house.
  The nice thing about this is that those waves go right through the
walls and out in space and anyone can pick them up and use them.
  Here in Portland the port has set up a net that will cover the whole
water front and the mass transit train line.
  Also nearly all coffee shop have them and they are free except for
Starbucks which charges for it and in addition a lot of restaurants
and hotels have it for free.
