Connecting to my BroadBand from somewhere else?

Ok I live in 2 different areas, about a 130km apart, I have my main internet plan at my home and a small simple plan in the other town. I travel between these two addresses fairly regularly.
My QUESTION is.. Can I connect to my larger internet plan from the other location, If yes HOW? and would any usage count on both plans or just the one im connecting to?

What you can do is to set up a VPN connection. There will be no additional cost on your Internet plans for this. In order for you to set up a VPN connection, you will need a VPN router for one of your homes and a VPN software (e.g. VPN Client) for the other home. The only downside for this is that the house with the VPN software will not be able to connect to the house with the VPN router unless this house initiates the connection. But if you want both houses to connect without waiting for one to initiate the connection, you need to install two VPN routers (one for each home) to set up a VPN tunnel.

  1. No, you will still be limited by the slower speed of the second connection.

  2. If you want you can buy a wireless modem in which case you can just take it with you, just to tell you they sort of look like a USB.
