Reviews

  • Virgin Mobile Broadband WiFi modem

    This WiFi modem/router works well and provides great value on some plans, but we're still left wanting better performance out of Virgin Mobile's actual broadband.

  • iiNet BoB wireless modem

    iiNet customers who yearn for a simple networking life will do well out of BoB, although like most routers, it's not without its quirks.

  • Optus E1762 USB Modem

    The hardware performs its part of the equation just fine, but if you're considering Optus' wireless broadband make sure you take advantage of its seven-day trial period.

  • Linksys WRT160N Wireless-N broadband router

    The Linksys WRT160N Wireless-N broadband router has consistent performance, good range, a helpful software application, and a good set of networking features. Its lack of gigabit and USB support are the only major knocks against it.

  • Engin oneHub ST790

    Engin's oneHub benefits from simplicity, but also suffers from it in comparison to other all-in-one router/VoIP solutions.

  • Telstra T6

    The T6 is the phone we never expected to see from Telstra. The price tag on the T6 is spot on for a phone with this feature set, and the Telstra Blue Tick should offer those in remote areas some peace of mind.

  • Samsung C5220

    The C5220 is a passable prepaid from Telstra. Its low-specs are elevated somewhat by Next G compatibility, though there's little else to recommend it.

  • Telstra Turbo 21 modem

    Telstra's Turbo 21 delivered the fastest wireless broadband experience we've seen. This excellent performance will be enough to justify its high price for some.

  • Will the NBN kill digital TV as we know it?

    As the NBN bypasses the airwaves and offers a new pipe into 90 per cent of Australia's homes, could long-languishing IPTV services spell the beginning of the end for TV as we know it?

  • Legit Mininova gives no traffic relief

    Mininova's decision to remove links to copyright-protected media last week is being hailed as a victory by Dutch anti-piracy group Stichting Brein. However it's unlikely to make much difference to network traffic and could prove a boon for independent producers
