personally speaking, i wouldn't be using wifi... it is insecure, easily 
penetrated and highly suceptible to interference from electrical sources... 
won't even mention it being slower than wired or fiber... i don't know what the 
cost of DSL is over there but my 3M/768k line is only $40US... that's copper 
for a mile or so where it connects into a DSLAM and jumps to fiber for the long 
haul... $40US a month for a hobby plus additional capabilities is much less 
than some people spend in a week on their hobbies...
