Telstra Pre-Paid Wi-Fi 4G

CNET Rating9.1

User Rating8.0

April 8th, 2013 - Telstra's Pre-Paid Wi-Fi 4G hotspot looks cheap, and it is cheap, although the accompanying data isn't. But the combination does make for excellent value. 1
Optus E3276 Premium 4G Modem

April 8th, 2013 - Optus' 4G network doesn't have the overall reach of Telstra's effort, but if you're underneath Optus' coverage cloud, get ready for some seriously impressive speeds.
Telstra Pre-Paid 3G USB + Wi-Fi

CNET Rating8.3

April 5th, 2013 - The clever Telstra Pre-Paid 3G USB+Wi-Fi offers Wi-Fi sharing from a single USB modem. We're just left fervently wishing it was a 4G device.
Optus E5331 Mini WiFi Modem

CNET Rating8.0

Vodafone Pocket WiFi Extreme

CNET Rating6.8

Optus 3G Home Zone

CNET Rating8.0

Vodafone Mega Modem

CNET Rating7.9

April 21st, 2011 - Vodafone's new modem isn't entirely mega, but it did show us the promise of better speeds than we're used to seeing out of the carrier.

CNET Rating9.0

User Rating5.0

April 20th, 2011 - Telstra's Elite Wi-Fi modem improves on the original in almost every way, but data costs are still a problem. 10
