I'm looking for a reasonable wireless Internet plan that will not break the bank.

I have recently purchased a Sony Vaio Laptop (latest release) with Windows Vista. The laptop has a built in wireless card and I am looking for a reasonable wireless plan that will not break the bank. I use the laptop whilst out and about for work and also at home for general Internet browsing. Do you have any suggestions as to a provider that could meet my needs but not break my bank?

I need to get wireless Internet on my laptop, but can't find anyone offering ExpressCards.

Recently I bought an HP notebook which only has an ExpressCard slot. However, when I called Optus to ask to be connected or to assist me with this, nobody knew what I was talking about when I mentioned ExpressCard. I would appreciate it if somebody could please explain how it all works. Also I would like to know how it works overseas and what sort of plans are available.
