Internet while on the road

    Hi guys, I know this isn't exactly motorhome related, but you guys are probably the best to ask.
    I'll be driving around France & Germany this summer and will need to be on the web on a reasonably regular basis. I'll need it to check stuff while on the laptop doing college work, so McDonalds wifi isn't an option, it needs to be an option I can use when parked up for the night. We use Aires and municipal sites mostly, not places that offer wifi. I assume it will be crazy expensive to use my phone, so I'm looking for an alternative.
    Has anyone bought a USB broadband dongle from a French Service provider for use while abroad? What kind of charges are you taking about?

    thanks

    Have a look at this thread here http://touch.boards.ie/thread/2056590025?page=1#post_77829887

    Might help you for France and I'd imagine Germany would be similar. Also google Europe by Camper - they've sorted out piggy backing on free wifi networks using antennae and boosters
