You'll need a satellite.

Yup. Satellite link.

Get a Mobile USB Broadband dongle from a carrier like Vodafone, 3, T-mobile (or whatever carrier you use if outside the UK).
Most have a data cap on them though so beware.

How do i use a satellite link?
- You just buy it with an account. It's usually plug & play...doctor

If you're anywhere near a wireless transmitter, you can catch that signal and get online, be it in your house, a friend's or on the street. You sometimes have to look for one with out password protection though.
- And you only need your computer's wifi network card to do this. No satellite.doctor

1. Get an account with an internet service provider (ISP).
2. Buy a wireless router at your local shop, unless your ISP provides you with one.
