Anyone use 'Wireless' BB?

[NORTI]

Who is using wireless BB? (not WiFi)

Who are you with? what are you paying? what are speeds/coverage like?

I know the Telstra deals, but what about others?


Feedback??

voda has 5GB for $39 and a free usb card. how good is that!!

offer ends 31st dec.

Hot offer - 5GB Mobile Broadband for only $39 a month

compare that to Bigpond(not telstra) $184.95 for 3GB. but they have the coverage though.

I looked at Voda website, but I cant get coverage map up?

Id prob go hourly plans with BP, plus I get staff discount etc.... but Id prefer more hours if that was the case.

Yeah I know about the 3GB for 184, sucky



Anyone used Voda or 3 or virgin? I might go see if I can find their coverage maps again. 3 is iffy at mine

[NORTI]

Well yay, now the maps work.

Boo no coverage from any other carrier but BP.

All are quoting 'future coverage may become available'

& People are wondering why they are left with only BP? Cus the other networks cant afford to expand their coverage, & BP has done it & now charge accordingly

Three mobile has 1gb for $14.95 per month. a half price offer on a 24 month contract.

yeah but I know from having a '3' phone, that I have no 3G coverage at my house

i got phone (unlimited local and interstate calls)
wireless broadband (512kbs) for 4GB per month and once i use that up they slow my connection down to 128kbs, until the new month.
phonecalls are cut off after 90minutes but you can just ring back.
modem has caller ID display too...
its a 24 month contract.

the modem is worth having listed on your house contents poilcy because it remains their property and they slug you $400-500 to replace it!!

all up costs a flat $60 a month, by far the best deal I've found, their tech support is ok, except expect to wait on the phone forever and a day to get to speak to someone.

Who is that with? What is the coverage like?

Is it VOIP phone or PSTN?

I dont need the phone, the idea of going wireless was to ditch my PSTN line competely.

bigpond is the best but unwired arent too bad either i have used both in mine and my mates laptops both are similair in coverage

If you have trouble getting 3g coverage at your place forget wireless bb as that uses the 3g network (telstra), but it works a treat up here!!

I cant get '3G' coverage, I get complete, fast NextG coverage.

There is a difference, dont make me do my sales pitch lol.




Meh the more I look into it the more it sucks.

Im just going to get BP WiFi now I think. Then work my ass off so I never have to pay for it lol.

Not unless anyone is getting a good WiFi ADSL plan now?? Id rather not pay for the modem (yeah Im a cheapskate).

do'h i forgot to say, was through virginbroadband, they just supply the modem, you dont need a phone line into the wall or anything, I plug the phone ino the modem and the modem into the LAN network card on my PC and away i go... pretty simple, only drawback is that the net slows down when your on the phone..

has saved me about $180 over 3 months already...

dont know anything about mobiles or 3G or that stuff.
