Depends what chip you have in your laptop. And if you have an Apple Big Mac.

Would you take out a laptop in McDonalds? (Unless it's an old one and you have "contents away from home" insurance.)

So fast your connection will fry.

Quoted in kb/s or killer burgers per second.

Seriously though - who on earth would want [e-mail]?

Would you like fries with that?

[Hedders]

If it's anything like their food it should be like greased st!

Go for it.

I helped install it and so far as i know its know free. |Download speed should be fairly swift though bear in mind you are on a netgear router which will limit you at 54.4 iirc.
