@DarrenJ Did you check out 2degrees?

 

 

 

 

yeah looks better than Spark (mind you everything does :) ).

 

I'm probably going to go with Skinny, as I know the Spark network has coverage everywhere I go based on experience currently.  Just going to wait a month in the faint hope Spark might wake up at the poor offerings.   I see over on Reddit there has been a lot of conversation as well.

I went Spark Pre paid a while back and got a better plan for less money than Spark post paid. I don't get their logic. They stand to lose a bit of custom with their current attitude and plans. Perhaps they're trading on their "better network coverage" but that won't stay like that for ever.

quickymart:

 

Is 1.2Mb/s suitable for using a Virtual Desktop, or is it laggy/slow? I may change my plan if it works at that speed.

 

 

It's possible but it will be messy at times if there isn't enough compression. If you're doing straight RDP, you could totally configure the client remoting in to use less and even cap the resolution + bit depth to bring it down.
