We spend long periods travelling around NZ in our Motor Home. We have a laptop, which we recharge using the house batteries.
Is there a method to get roaming Internet access?
I occasionally use a wireless connection hotspot but would prefer a private secure connection so that we can manage our banking and I do not like being “illegal” by using someone else’s connection.

$199 for hardware on 3 year term and $50 p/mth with 1GB data

Telecom (for a change) seems to be much better than Vodafone with 3G coverage and speed.

And their software is much better. Vodafone's is bloated and buggy.
