Only if there is a wifi hotspot in the middle of nowhere. It is possible, with a directional antenna (like a cantenna) at each end of the link, to get a couple of kilometres, but the ad was just using a bit of poetic licence.

wireless broadband uses and pc cards thats slides in an pcmcia or express slot. I think they have the same bandwith as 802.11g, I think what you refering to is the new 802.11n which is 10/100/1000 (gigabit) they have out now. I dont know if the range of wifi has increased, but what your talking about is wiresless broadband the ability to use the net anywhere (not wifi). Only near major cities too.
