I had to replace some IBursts - I'm likely to replace 2 of them with a single 1M/1M commercial wireless service from Clever @ $399 per month. A bit pricey, but we need a decent link there. The site currently uses 2 x Ibursts which cost a similar amount anyway.

I'm still looking for a better option if I can find one.

I looked into Telstra's NextG, but gave up because they can't give you a real static IP address (without using their cloud and BDSL etc for around $1000 per month all up).

Cheers,
Marty

With the Demise of the I-Burst Network, I now have to look for an alternative.

The 3G options seem to be

Telstra (the broadband "expert" had heard of Linux - but did not seem to know it was an OS!")
Various Plans (capped/shaped plan $80/month)
+299 Modem/router or USB modem ($?)

Virgin
Various Plants (capped/shaped plan $40/month - incudes USB modem and
$60 capped/shaped plan with  (non roaming) homephone/modem/router

IPRIMUS (capped/shaped plan $40/month)
+ (?) USB Modem ($?)

Vodafone & Optus do not seem to have a capped/shaped plan.

Any comments recommendations?

Hi All,

I just saw someone was unfortunate enough to have a ZTE mobile. I just wanted to encourage all people not to get a phone from them. I had one. It constantly crashed, dropped out calls, and eventually broke itself. Yes, it broke itself. I had it sitting on my leg while I was sitting down, no pressure on it, just body temperature, and the screen cracked. The leaking then destroyed the phone. The warranty wasn't honoured.

Enjoy!
