So first of all I moved from my flat to my cousins family home still in PTA and this cave-family does not have adsl and it seems like they are not planning on getting it..

So.. I was wondering if someone could help me with broadcasting the internet from the 3G stick into a wifi so that my lovely Xbox could pick it up..

Help would be greatly appreciated...:D
 
You can achieve this in a few Ways
Use a Netgear Dual WiFi Router - It allows you plug in a normal 3G Modem (USB) and creates a Wireless Access Point using that as the primary connectivity method. It also has an ADSL Port so shoudl you need it in future you would be sorted

Use a Vodacom R201 Modem (USB with Rechargeable Battery)
This modem can funcion as a standalone Access Point and will allow you to connect multiple Devices via the same 3G connection over WiFi

MTN also has a similar modem but I have not tested it

There are ways, and you should be able to share the connection from the PC to the xbox.
There are guides for doing just that all over the net, and it would be best to consult those.

Just trust me when I say the following:
If this is a long-term implementation - just get the 3G router. (Or shared modems as Xero pointed out)
