I'm going to Europe this summer. How to get internet for my laptop?
I'm going to Belgium for an internship, and I'll be staying in a simple cottage with NO internet. My boyfriend and I will need wireless internet for our laptops. We'll be in a tiny town, so going to internet cafes is out of the question. What companies offer good rates for this? I will need it for 4 weeks in Belgium, then 2 more weeks traveling across western Europe. I have no idea where to even begin to look! Please help me.. I leave the US on May 8th! Just to clarify, I will have no access to wifi. I'll need one of those little portable hotspot devices, I believe you plug it in thru USB. Just need to know where to look, what service providers are out there, cost-effective options for a 4-6 week trip..

If you have a wireless lap top, like on a battery, you should have internet connection. I've never used a lap top though, so I wouldn't know.
Answer 2 :
Here's a service that can locate wifi hotspots in any number of countries. The Belgium page has hundreds of towns: http://www.trustive.com/hotspots/
Answer 3 :
Most of the phone companies offer internet USB keys, for example: http://customer.proximus.be/en/Surf_Laptop/index.html or http://business.mobistar.be/go/en/soho/telephony/devices.cfm?value_propositions_ID=1 operate in Belgium. I have one in Italy where I live (mine is Vodafone) and use it frequently.
