    Good excuse for telstra not to bother installing more ADSL ports at the local exchange but it doesn't allow VOIP

    The good: the easiest setup I have ever seen no wires...wife loves that

    The bad: drop outs/line congestion COST of wireless internet plans is ridiculous but you expect that from Telstra

    Caravanners. Dont believe the hype about travelling and connecting to the Next G network. Its pretty much hit and miss. Even if your Telstra phone works the modem doesn't

    The good: When it works its good and fairly fast even in rural areas.

    The bad: Fussy about antenna connections so once you get it working don't detach the antennas when you travel.

The good:
  • Very easy to set up
  • Wireless security on by default
  • Excellent range of configuration options
The bad:
  • Performance was a little susceptible to interference
  • Wireless services are often less reliable than ADSL
  • Wireless services cannot match ADSL2 speeds
The bottomline:

Modest performance, but reasonably priced, great features and simple to set up.

    It was interesting to witness Conroy's recent enthusiasm to spruik the NBN's role in supporting the Smart Grid, Smart City initiative. What a pity that Conroy hadn't yet seen the damning report from the Victorian auditor-general about that state's smart-meter roll-out.
