By David Flynn on 14/11/2006

More Telstra reviews , RRP: AU$299.00

The good:

  • True ADSL-class speed
  • Solid signal penetration into buildings
  • Extensive network coverage
  • Excellent manual

The bad:

  • Still obvious coverage "black spots"
  • Setup software hijacks your browser without warning

The bottomline:

Fancy a 1.3Mbps broadband pipeline direct to your notebook, without a cable in sight? The new BigPond wireless data card makes good on Telstra's lofty promises for its Next G network.
