Welcome to the forums. The forum you posted this in is for articles only, so would have prevented other people answering.

I have moved your thread to the correct forum.

As for your question, there are a few possibitilites.

Does one of your neighbours have a wireless connection they are willing to share with you? It may be possible to connect the PS3 to that.

Also, if you have a PC or Laptop for the mobile broadband, it may be possible to use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the PS3 to that, and use Windows Internet Connection Sharing to share the mobile connection. Be aware that the PS3 could transfer enough data to break any usage allowance though.

Finally, is cable broadband an option? It doesn't use a phone line..
