Wifi in your car

Is there something so you can make your car a wifi hotspot?

Would be interested for my new car..

yes T Mobile and some others do a 3 G air freshner type stick on, which people can pick up a wireless connection to - but 3G isn't exactly fast - but up to you.....can be done.

You'd be better just using an iPad on your own 3G network....

at this time 3G is the best totally mobile (signal dependant) mobile internet solution

thought there must be some sort of satalite based system out there, but at what cost is the question

cheapest way round it, if your wanting faster speeds, will be to have a wi-fi hotspot locator on the iphone Idea, obvious just parking up and using an unsecure wi-fi is classed as theft iirc, so something BTFon network is getting larger by the day, and you can use that to log on, but be parked up of something outside joe bloggs home who has joined the BTFon network allowing other users to piggyback his network with the neighbours curtains twitching might not be the best solution

I'm not in a very good area for either mobile or landline BB, but I get upload and download speeds of 2Mb/s. They do a rolling 30 day contract of 5Gb for £15.99. The device is very small so it can fit in your pocket and easy to use. They are much faster in a decent reception area and can work with 5 devices at a time. Porsche Cayenne S Diesel 66 Plate

Cheapish way.

I have used these from Zoom for the last 12 mths

The 3G USB stick is unlocked and can use any network, and I use it with the router for my wifi IPad while my daughter uses her Advent Vega .
