portable wifi modems??

Post by bapa »

Need some help from the tech heads out there.
any ideas re purchasing a portable wifi modem

Telstra has the 4g pre paid wifi, cost $149, but the recharge amounts are much more expensive as compared to optus ur vodafone.
But, Optus and vodafone have many coverage problems, is it worth it to save some $$ but not get the coverage??

Go for Optus unless you are spending most your time in the outback. Faster than Voda and cheaper than Telstra.

Pick up a telstra prepaid, something like this http://tinyurl.com/d3p7cwn, you can then use the new Kogan/telstra data sim, http://www.koganmobile.com.au/plans/, the kogan sim will work in the telstra modems but speeds are capped at 7mb/s (Telstra 3g network not 4g), only draw back is it's only 2gb for $9.95 which might not be enough data for you, this service craps all over my old TPG/optus service, speeds from my home would be around 0.08mb/s on my old service but easily do 3.00mb/s on the new sim, $5.95 if you want to test the sim out, might be worth a shot

I'd rather come here and get advice from people I (sort of) know.
