Vodafone has the most attractive plans for me, for the limited amount of mobile broadband I want to use with my laptop. The Vodem vstick at $250 or so is very pricey. (and I dont want a fixed term for 2 years to get a free modem!).
I'm very new to mobile broadband.. theres woosh, theres vodafone, theres telecom mobile.. but I dont really know about the standards. I'm wondering, can I buy my mobile broadband equipment from someone else other than Vodafone? And get it cheaper? And will it work with Vodafone? (or any other provider for that matter.. but for now I'm focusing on Vodafone, because I like their prepay system).
I'm going to be out and about with my laptop, so I want something small and portable like what Vodafone and Telecom offer. I'm not keen on tethering by bluetooth to a phone, though.
Hope my questions arent too silly.. Thanks for any help guys. :)
