One of the reasons that we like the on island wifi service is that we can just use the inbuilt wifi in the netbook/laptops and the fact that I run linux doesn't matter. I have yet to see a mobile broadband donlge that runs out of the box on linux.
Also cell phone coverage on the far west of the island is a bit hit and miss indoors and you again have to be in the correct part of the house to get a signal. Despite what the websites say I have hit and miss coverage on my 3g phone in Central London, and where I am right now there is no signal strength at all.
And thanks for the offer but I suspect that owners of the property might find it a little odd if you pitched up.
