Bearing in mind that finding wireless hotspots can be a frustrating exercise, and in some cases can mean nicking someone's bandwidth, has anyone any experience with the genuine mobile broadband.
Our biggest ISP is promoting a true wireless service whereby you buy a card (basically a mobile/cellphone) plug it into your computer and work with transfer speeds of up to 1.5kbps. The slowest speed of 128mbps is still fairly quick.
The card in Oz through Telstra is $300 and plans start from $17.50 per month for 10 hours use. There is an international roaming option through the 3G network, but it's expensive.
I would be interested to hear from anyone with experience of this, or a similar system, especially as regards the quality of connection/drop-outs etc.
David.
