Hi Guys, We're getting closer to hitting the road full time, just waiting on the building of our van. Just wondering what you guys are using with the internet, Pre -paid or contract? This computer technology is all new to me so please try and keep it simple. Cheers, The Freddos

Welcome to the forum ..
This is a popular issue & has been discussed many times.
To have a look at what has been said ... If you have lots of time 'cos there is a lot there ...
Click on "SEARCH" on the blue bar at the top of the forum page & type in "Wireless Broadband". This will list all of the previous threads on that & related subjects.
That may be a good starting point & lead to more specific questions to lead you to the information you need.
Good luck & enjoy you (future) travels.

Me again ...
Had a minute to spare so I had another look.
If you go to the main page "The grey nomads forum" and then select "Techies" page you will see a good post on this subject.

Good advice there.
You may have to get mobile, wireless broadband to cater for you needs.
There is a pre-paid version by Bigpond. I have an account deal with Bigpond, Mobile Wireless Broadband. The price has come down $30 per month since I first signed up.
There are a couple of other providers who now offer mobile wireless b/band, but I don't know what their charges and conditions are, or how much space is available through them, as they lease infrastructure from Telstra or Optus.
Most towns and c/pks have some form of internet cafe' where you can access you emails and other web business, and Grey Nomads and Google Maps.
All I can suggest is do your own homework so you understand fully what is out there, and what suits your needs. Don't let the agencies blind you with technical science in a language you don't understand. It's your money, and your information. Look after it, and good luck with that. Cheers Chris
