To use the internet, you need a modem that connects your computer to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). You'll be hard pressed to buy a new computer that doesn't have a dial-up modem as standard, and all use the current 56K connection speed. This is about as fast as standard telephone technology will go. Users of broadband will also need a modem or a router with a modem built in, in order to connect to the net.

Thomson SpeedTouch 545 £94 inc VAT Jul 2004

Thomson SpeedTouch 545 This is a worthy piece of kit that could be dramatically improved if Thomson provided a compatible 54Mbps wireless card. If your wireless access is likely to be limited then it's not such a big issue, but most surfers will want something with more speed to get them through their downloads. Beyond the Wi-Fi factor though, this is a sturdy device that's easy to set up and get going. Anyone wanting a wired router with a cheap route to wireless upgrading at a later date has a decent option here, but beware of the lack of Wi-Fi speed. more..
