    Hi Welcome to Boards. Please, Please, Please: No shouting. Thanks.

    If there is no Broadband service provider in her area (Digiweb, Eircom, etc) then you will need to get a USB Modem (link) Through a mobile provider, like 02, or Vodafone.

    A Cable Modem connects you to the Internet, a Router splits that connection across multiple PCs and/or transmits the signal wirelessly. Some home Modems double as routers (link) but still operate on the basis of a Wired Broadband Source.

    You dont need to worry about equipment, Service Providers generally give the equipment to you, typically as part of the service fee, or as a seperate, small equipment rental surcharge
