i am looking at the best way to have internet and phone contact i have been told smart phone with hot spot connectivity is the way to go and connect it up to the notebook when needed
i am interested in solo's experiences i normally use 2.5 gigs of data with my pc but feel this would be less on the road
If you use Adsl with the computer at home generally the uploads are not counted towards your limit. With Wifi or 3g/4g the uploads are counted as well. Just something to consider.
If you do email, checking a forum and a bit of goodling, you don't generally use much bandwith, however if you download music, youtube and other stuff that uses more bandwith you may need more. Depends on an individuals type of usage.
I think using a phone as a hotspot is the way I want to go, I'm using Kogan 3g and not sure what the speed will be like. The 4g/3g through the network provider should be fine hopefully with good speed.
thanks janette i am a photographer so will need to upload all my images but i dont tend to download music or youtube much it is hard to know in advance isnt it cheers
We are heading off shortly up to Kununurra & Darwin and also wanting to take pics an upload as we go as I create photo books of where we have been. Does anyone know of any program where you don't have to be on internet to upload pics, and then be able to create coffee table book at end?
I have a mac book pro and an iPad that I use for all my photos etc, it doesn't need Internet, I can use either a USB or cable or slip the memory card into the mac book. I load them onto the mac and then use iPhoto stream to send them to the iPad and my iphone when I'm connected to the Internet.

Uploading and downloading means transferring data to and from the internet, for which you need internet access. If you mean transferring pics to a computer harddrive, then you don,t need internet access, just a suitable cable to connect your camera to the computer or tablet etc.
