Default mobile broadband

Hi all

Only 19 days to go!!!!!

Can anyone let me know what is the best pay as you go mobile broadband in Oz, if it exists. In the UK there is only one, ie vodaphone, otherwise which would be the best pay monthly contract. I have 2 dongles already, so only require a sim card.

Thanks

You might like to ask the question on Whirlpool. There are so many factors to consider.

Go with Telstra. I've beed through the lot and they are all crap compared to Telstra but you will have to pay for it.

Vodafone are particularly bad.

Hi, it also depends on where you are living. We had vodaphone when we lived in the city and it was fine, but when we moved it was really bad. Vodaphone insisted all should be well, and even told us they had sent a guy to investigate. In the end they admitted the signal was bad, but it took almost a year to get our money refunded. Good luck.

Wireless broadband = Telstra. Simply the best network there is for coverage and broadband speed. There is cheaper, but frankly the other networks can be hit or miss to say the least.

Get a Prepaid modem quite cheaply to begin with for no contract. http://www.telstra.com.au/bigpond-in...d/get-started/

You can just pick one up at any Telstra shop.
