If you don't need fast, then 2talk slow speed 1Mbps unlimited 4G for $15 +GST per month.

Another option is Skinny basic plan, then add a 24hr unlimited booster.

NB: the 2talk option is great for EFTPOS or other IOT stuff that doesn't need a fast connection.

You can get a Draytek router with built in 4G for Auto failover too.

Thanks all, have contacted a few of the local WISP providers to see if they will do a cheap backup only type plan.

Not holding my breathe tho.

Appreciate all the feedback.

Found this on the USG (which I have), might work the same for the UDM-Pro.

That's sure interesting, that's the first ATL offer I've seen in that price range - good on them!

Yeah that is what started all this. Now that I have the UDM Pro it seems pretty easy to enable failover WAN... if it didn't cost an arm and a leg.
