Although it may seem like an oxymoron, asking a question on an internet-based form about how to access the internet - it is most serious, I assure you

I am trying to get access on my laptop, and lacking an actual land line in my apartment I was wondering how one goes about this. Im in Daegu, and I've been to the various PC Banks but they offer the internet on their own computers, wheras I just want to find a wireless signal, or a land line I can plug into

Any advice?

Thanks

Go to PC bang, unplug the Internet cable from the computer, plug it into your laptop

est voila.

This would be something which I would expect your school to be able to help you to arrange ... I am assuming that what you want is access at home ... Some cities do have wireless internet access ... though I don't have that option where I am ... I know much of Seoul does ... but I don't know about Daegu ... If your school can't help .. If I were you I would post a message on the Technology forum ... with a "Internet in Daegu" subject ... and ask people who live in Daegu what they use ... Someone else may also know about other options ... (I know that I don't have any choice where I am ...I get mine bundled with my cable tv. But often there is more than one alternative)

assuming you come from australia/NZ, in korea you don't need a land line to connect to the internet. should only cost around 30,000 won for an unlimited download connection

It's not always that simple. I did this a few months ago and they guy had to come over and change the IP and DNS on my computer to match the server in the PC bang.

But, what is the cheapest Inter-web-worldwide-net provider? Xspeedis 35 a month with no instillation. Anything better out there? What do you pay?
