there are wireless services such as
globe visibility
pldt weroam

wherein you can plug a device (such as an expresscard or a usb) to your laptop-- than you can go to the areas where they provide the services and be connected. this is good for people on the go and needs access anywhere they are. downside is, that not all areas are covered. check the listing at pltd or globe to see if the areas they service to cover your area.

If you have an internet service, what you are missing is a WIRELESS ROUTER. The router is responsible for broadcasting the wireless connection you want. But this require your laptop / computer to have a wireless card or wireless device. ( if you have a centrino processor you are ok)

The router connects multiple machines to the internet, meaning you can share the internet with more than one machine.

Good router brands: Linksys and D-Link (~$30-50)

The only problem with routers is that you are going to have to set it up properly, it can be complicated at first and has many options.

If you are going to broadcast wireless, i suggest you eventually place a password on your connection with the highest available security (WPA is better than WEP). This way random people can't abuse your internet.

The wireless card allows you to connect to the router, these are fairly common these days already INSIDE the laptops.
if you dont have one, you must purchase one that would fit to your laptop. there are USB, PCMIA and newer ports availble; make sure you purchase the correct wireless card. ($10-30)

You need to get a cable modem, wireless router, Ethernet cables, a broadband jack, a coax cable, and power cables for the modem and router. Read the instruction manual after you purchase the device to see how to connect all of the cables.

besides getting highspeed broad band at home, you can get a broad band card from sprint or verizon. (sprint is better) Its just like a cellphone that plugs into the side of your laptop and gives you internet access anywhere. (about $50 - $70 a month)
