Before any1 says it yes, yes I've looked on Whingepool already.

Anyone here have or could recommend Wireless BB.

I'm liking '3'6gb or Internode 5gb PP plans.

yeah i would go 3 for urban use, but if you are going off the beaten track, best to get telstra (nextg) even though it costs a metric f***ton.

I work for 3. Honestly, as good as our prices are, I'd steer clear for the moment - there's serious congestion issues in a lot of areas that are still in the process of being fixed, and it seems like it'll be a while before it's done.

yeah 3 sucked for me, tether your phone and try to get a data block from your carrier for cheap

3 on the Gold Coast gets hammered in the afternoon. A friend of mine can only surf in the morning - it seems that when all the kiddies get home from school the network just crashes and burns. It's slower than dial-up. His is definitely one of the areas with capacity issues.

Yeah 3 sucks for speed but it's excellent value for $ per GB

Seriously, I'm a telstra hater, but telstra NextG is absolute head and shoulders above the competition, if not more. If you neeeeeeeed mobile broadband, either in reliability, speed or coverage, then telstra NextG is the only serious offering on the market.

3 years ago i was in the middle of absolute nowhere (i think somewhere between yarraman and nanango) and i *had* to remote into a server - just jumped out of the commodore, put the laptop on the bonnet and remoted in like i was on ethernet. Was gold. GSM Coverage hadn't been seen in ages, and i doubt 2100mhz 3G either.

If there's anything telstra got right it was nextg.

I dont really need it because of mobility its more of a moving house don't need to pay line rental issue.

I would get naked broadband but I might be moving soon and I cbf with all the rigmamoral of setting up a naked account then moving with all the bulls*** that that entails.
