More Telstra reviews , RRP: AU$299.00

The good:

  • Speeds in excess of 2Mbps under good conditions
  • Solid signal penetration into buildings
  • Extensive Next G network coverage
  • Excellent manual

The bad:

  • No drivers for Mac OS X or Vista (as at the time of writing)
  • Setup software hijacks your browser without warning

The bottomline:

Telstra's Next G USB modem pushes the wireless broadband needle past 2Mbps, making it a better choice than its sibling PC Card in most (but not all) situations.

Editors' rating:
