I have been trying to go through as many Australian Wireless Internet provider services to review them all. Overall, they are getting better but the services I have reviewed so far I have found lacking either because of excessive prices or poor coverage.
Vodafone Wireless Internet Review
Vodafone were really promising with relatively fair prices but were ultimately let down by lack of a shaping option and extremely poor coverage. Even in inner city areas I had trouble getting reception, with frequent drop-outs. It is a real pity because the software and hardware packages themself worked wonderfully and had so much functionality. If the reception had been better, I would likely still be using Vodafone Wireless.
Telstra Bigpond Prepaid Wireless Internet Review
Bigpond Prepaid Wireless actually worked really well, but the cost was absurd. This was further compounded by the fact that actually putting credit on proved very difficult and many telstra dealers get confused between mobile phone credit (which is more expensive) and wireless Internet credit (which is cheaper, but still a bit expensive).
Overall:
Internet in Australia has always been a let down and the ISPs are not really so much to blame. We have a small population dispersed over a large land mass.
