[Klug-general] getting broadband

[james morris]

Morning,

I'm a total broadband newb and know next to nothing about broadband and
linux because i've lived (for a long long time) in an area where bb was
not available and have been using a wireless dongle to get gprs/umts/3g.

My main concern is ordering a package and then discovering it uses some
proprietary wotsit which means I can't connect within linux (the only
option believe me). I don't know if this is likely or not (it was the
case with the dialup provider my parents use).

Any recommendations for packages to avoid and packages to go for?

Cheers,
James.
