Wrath tech help needed...

Reet. Got my keys to my new place but ridiculously the earliest I can get BT or any provider (as they all use the same company for the line instillation) is the 10th of feb, which for a recluse like me is a disaster.

My question is, do these here pay as you go wireless dongles thingys mean I could plug that into my computer and therefore at least be able to use wrath/email/twitter, or have I completely misunderstood what they do?
