Internet For Boats!
I had recently purchased a new 3g router that allows voice and data on
boats and find is bloody fantastic. It was referred to me from a friend of mine. These guys are really onto something and also offers great range... they are at www.internetforboats.com highly recommended for owners that are docked and travelling. the voice quality is great as well... |

Internet For Boats!
The OP is spam for a very expensive device, upwards from about $1000AUD.
There are much cheaper ways of hooking into the NextG service. The only mobile broadband internet service provider on the NextG network in Australia is BigPond, an offshoot of Telstra, the main telco. As such, Bigpond is screwing the market for all it can get. I am on a middle of the road plan: 12 month contract, unlimitted connect time, 1 Gigabyte data per month, $85AUD a month. Outrageous! However, the service works. My experience is just about 100% coverage on the east coast of Australia, at good speeds, and also good coverage when travelling by car inland. With an external antenna, I'm sometimes able to pick up coverage 5-8 miles offshore of major ports. This post was written at anchor, some 10-12 miles offshore/away from Gladstone,QLD. Beats marina based wifi handsdown. It makes it entirely feasible to run my business affairs without being marina bound.

news I am on a middle of the road plan: 12 month contract, unlimitted connect time, 1 Gigabyte data per month, $85AUD a month. Outrageous! Ouch! Thanks for the info.... I have a Nokia M800 pocket computer on order that uses wifi or BT to a cellphone's EVDO broadband. Alltel has quoted me unlimited data for the cellphone link at $US25/mo (What's that, now, $12AUD?...It's hard to tell with the Federal Reserve Private banknotes becoming so useless.) Alltel tells me there's no GB/mo limit at that. It sure is less than other carriers like Verizon Wireless wants for 5GB/mo. Wifi is, of course, much faster and available all over our city, including all the marinas for free...(c; Larry -- You can tell there's extremely intelligent life in the universe because they have never called Earth. |

Larry -- You can tell there's extremely intelligent life in the universe because they have never called Earth. it depends on the service provider. In Aus there is telstra, vodafone and optus. The data packs are very cheap now as Aussie companies also have free to mobile plans on sim cards making this a very cheap option.. I was in the states and A t&T have data pachages there. not sure where u are from though. Most countries have 3g and cdma anyway.. hope this helps |
