call your provider and sign up for broadband via cable or DSL or FIOS. I don't know about cable, but if DSL or FIOS they will probably give you a modem with a wireless router built in.
Then all you need is a wireless adapter which you can get at a lot of places like Best Buy, Fries and even Walmart. Install it as per the instructions and you should be good to go

Fiber Optics...
If you don't have these then your only option is wi-fi through the cell phone network (not cheap) or satellite

My SIL works for Verizon and said I can buy a card of some kind for $60 a month. I didn't know you could do that on a desktop. Well I talked to some satellite people and the satellites are expensive. Will kind of wait and see I guess.

That is what I was talking about. It uses the Cell network I believe. The card I think is made for laptops

Cindy, We had satellite out there and after buying all that equipment it still didn't work well, we spent lots on service calls to readjust, readjust, and readjust. The company went out of business.

We have Wildblue and we pay about $50/mo. The startup costs are about $2-300 but we don't have the problems Larry was talking about.
