Affordable WIRELESS Internet Plans. Has to Be Wireless (I.e. No Data Line to The House)

I live in a shared house. It can be compared to a hostel where there are approximately 15 people living in 2 story house ( it has ample room etc.) people who lived there before me used AiTel wifi ( I think someone who works for Aitel lived there and connected the house with it and sold subscriptions for people to connect to the internet) However its expensive and slow (10GB for $25)

Therefore I am looking to get a wireless internet . (wireless because I dont want to go through the hassle of putting a lined internet to the place as I might move out soon anyway)

The best iv found so far is the Optus wireless broadband (http://www.optus.com.au/shop/broadband/home-wireless-broadba…)
I was wondering if anyone else provides similar plans

Thank you in advance

P.S. I'm only looking for wireless plans similar to the optus one

    I've been looking around too and Optus is by far the best value (especially if you can make use of the $20 discount if you have an existing mobile account with them)

      Yah, I'm hoping someone will help us out. Don't have Optus mobile account :(

    Check Out Vivid Wireless. We used them in our innovation labs - it was reasonably good - however, challenge was finding a serviced area at times. From memory they are primarily Sydney CBD and surrounding neighborhood focused.

    Believe their unlimited plan was about 89 AUD per month - no contracts, etc. Not a bad alternative if reception isn't that great with Optus.

    • I live in Hindmarsh SA, Vivid doesn't have service in that area :(

    • What speed?

      • I think Vivid actually uses the Optus 4G network anyway, so if there's no Optus service you'll probably have the same problem with Vivid. Also Vivid caps their down at 10Mbps. Optus is up to 12Mbps.

        This is the comparison:

        Vivid: Unlimited downloads, 10Mbps down/1Mbps up, $89/month
        Optus: 200GB downloads, 12Mbps down/1Mbps up, $80/month (or $60/month if you have an existing Optus account)

  • What about NBN Skymuster?

    • Any recommended providers ?
      Okay this might sound dumb, but do they literary connect a dish antenna ?

      • Skymesh does it. Yes they install a satellite.

    Couldn't you just get more data for your phone and use it as a hotspot? How many GB would you want?

    • I think its more expensive, I do use around 60GB.

    • Do note that after the 31st October the 50gb plan will only be available for those that were signed up before the 31st October
