Hi There,
An opportunity has presented itself where I can stay at this place for 6 months.
Re: internet, I can't sign up to one of these 24month contracts that Optus and the other big Telcos love to dish out.
So, I'm wondering, am I better off upgrading my phone plan and hot spotting for 6 months? Or, are there month to month contracts I don't know about?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
-Ned
The trouble with Vivid Wireless is that you have to buy their modem. I think it's dropped from $300 down to $200 now, though.
Also, you only get 12Mbs maximum, and often 5-6Mbs.
Better, in my opinion, to either use an existing phone to as a hotspot/tether or get the next 4G battery powered modem that goes on sale.
check usage
Kogan, Catch sim card starter and plug them into a pocket wifi.
Kogan + Old phone as hotspot modem/router + xiaomi USB repeater.
Kogan sim = Variable cost, $1 - $5 for $32GB for 30 days
Old phone = Potentially free
Xiaomi USB repeater = $8 if 4 week shipping, $13 for melb stock (shopro)
Optus also does data sim without contract
And their 4g modem costs about $40, so cheaper than installation fees with anyone. I think this is a great option if not needing very large amounts of data
Chances are they will go into voluntary administration…

Try Launtel, if you are after NBN fibre and in one of their catchment areas, you can pay per day.
Firstly
What kind of data allowance/speed do you require as this will determine the best option.
Is the location you are moving to NBN ready? FTTH? FTTN?
