Does anyone know if i can get wifi broadband in the house without having a landline, the landline is pointless since ive got a mobile.

You can buy 3G broadband routers with built-in WiFi

You buy a 3G data contract from your local supplier and they give you a USB dongle. Plug it into the 3G router, and connect your laptop to its WiFi, hey presto you have WiFi without a DSL broadband line.

Theres more than 1 laptop in the house, and i want good speed. Out here in the countryside doesnt mean were still on dial up, broadbands fairly fast, and fibre optic will be coming. No cable though.

i dont worry too much with the tv, its all repeats, x factor or strictly come dancing (which i dont like), so not much use unless its a fresh season of top gear, or grand designs, or midsomer murders.

and scrapheap challenge would be good if it wasnt overcome with so many adverts, thats why i dont watch anything on channel 5 because the adverts happen more frequently and last longer.
