At the risk of sounding stupid
My sons are getting laptops for Christmas. I have ntl broadband and a wireless router. Can I put my broadband etc. on the other two laptops or do I have to arrange it separately? or pay for it separately?
I don't know if this is a stupid question!

There is no problem at all - all online at the same time from the same connection.
However, I found that I had to install the telewest software on all my pcs first - before setting up the router. It may not be the same for you, but if you have trouble connecting, it will be worth a try.

If you already have broadband and a wireless router then you don't need any new hardware, assuming that the laptops are wireless enabled. Most sold now are. If they aren't, you can pick up a cheap wireless dongle like this one:
