I have heard poor reports from some of the mobile telcos not having decent coverage.
I got myself a bigpond Elite network gateway that works on Telstra next G. It only has a 3GB capacity but that is more than adequate for the use I give it. It costs $49 (+the modem $200) but I got a $20 discount for already having Bigpond ADSL. I dropped my Unwired and saved $20 so the net monthly cost for the additional convenience is $10
The performance is excellent I haven't found a place where it did not give me coverage
I got it mainly to use on new moon weekends at Wiruna wher it supplies wireles internet to all and sundry who I give the key to. Its performance at Wiruna is up to 600KB (about the same as I get on ADSL) depending on traffic.
It has also been great at home twice when I lost ADSL due to exchange work for 24 hrs. I just plug my normal netgear wireless into it instead of the ADSL2 modem and distribute internet over my normal wireless LAN system.
