| 1346418 | 2013-06-20 00:58:00 | Helping an old timer out, he has a physical phone line into his flat, however it's not actually connected at this point. He doesn't want or need a landline. He wants to get onto the internet, and I'm trying to give him a bit of an idea what he's going to be looking at. I've had a squiz around a few providers, but a lot don't seem to have a lot of readily available info. What would be the best way forward here? He probably wouldn't use over 10GB a month I imagine, I had thought of mobile as an option, connected to a compatible access point, he has a PC (no wireless) and a TV (wireless). Or even one of these (store.telecom.co.nz), and get a wireless card for the PC, but the data is so dear... Thoughts? Thanks. :) |

The device you linked is a cellular mobile data portable wifi unit. It states $80 for 4GB of data. I had accessed to that while I was in Japan. You could take out with you in your backpack and surf the net on your phone :D in the country side I could get 30Mbps or was it more than that. Some people I know Skype call while they outside LOL. All you can use of course ;) Maybe speed is an issue with 2Degrees but worth a mention they have 3GB packs for $50. You could get portable cell wifi's that accept simcards. The one I used came pre-set with a Wifi security password and I would imagine user changeable. These packs cannot be used in areas where they don't have their own towers thou.... |
