what's the best pre-paid mobile broadband?

[Sister.]

ALRIGHT so I'm on my laptop atm guess where?

Ooooon the TRAINNNN choo choo!

So the tethering thing works, it's just a bit slow (well pretty slow actually, Virgin internet for ya), took a while to load AM but alhamdulillah here we are

technology is so cool

I might get an Elite modem thing from Telstra anyway, see how it goes inshaAllah with the tethering.

I had to hold my phone in the air for my above post to go through

Good to hear.

Just a note... when I travel on the train at nights (upfield line), even I'm a little hesitant to show just my iphone for fear of getting jumped.

Maybe I'm paranoid... but a sister on a train at night with a laptop and waving around a smartphone... hmmm. Just something to keep in mind.

[Sister.]

the Pakenham line is always packed, and probably one of the safest lines I've travelled on, I travelled on the Upfield line yesterday and it was....odd.....wouldn't take my phone/laptop out there either.

Plus I always make dua for protection

and you're talking to someone whose phones got robbed while she was peacefully sleepin at the masjid at uni! so nobody's safe!

thanks for your concern though, you're not paranoid, just cautious
probably better to be cautious actually...

Vodafone has something called Pocket Wifi, it is alot faster than usb sticks, and you can hook up up five laptops on it. I use it and it is five times faster than my adsl2 that I used to have with TPG before.

You can get it free on a 24 months term along with 12 Gigs every months for $39.

Vodafone faster than adsl2+ ? LOL you must of had a bad connection.

Well the house is 3.7ks from the exchange. When I tested the speed, it was arond 1500kpbs with Exetel. When I was with TPG, it was even worse at around 900 kpbs. With the vodafone Pocket Wifi I get around 5500 kpbs.

Also take into consideration that if you use for 3 hours a week, get a low usage, because the telstra one runs out in a month from activation, this happened to my uncle and he said he wanted to smash his computer

I have a Telstra pocket wifi thingo right now and it doesn't expire til at least another few weeks and I got it over a month ago Alhamdulillah (thanks to PS)
