5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
Until then, 3.5G HSDPA is ruling the roost, with similar pricing but even larger data download limits to come in 2009 and beyond. To avoid locking yourself into a contract for 24 months, Three Mobile’s no contract option and USB modem at $129 could well be the best deal for city dwellers, leaving themselves open to committing to a contract in the future when download limits get much larger. After all, Telstra is charing $129.95 per month for 10GB, and Three Mobile charges $49 per month for 7GB. Surely more wireless broadband providers (i.e. the telcos) will break the 10GB barrier in 2009 – or maybe even before the end of this year! As for Vodafone’s 5GB for $39.95 deal, its network got a lot of new users when the $39.95 deal was first introduced, but it’s not having the reported problems Optus is having. Its network works Australia-wide without roaming fees like Three, and doesn’t cost as much as Telstra while not being as fast. Its Internet stick is ready for 900MHz in the bush too, making the offer a lot more attractive than when it first launched nearly a year ago. Forget about the year of Linux, this year has been the year of mobile broadband – with even better deals and faster speeds still to come! |
