Internet service provider Internode is better known for its good value and reliable home ADSL2+ services, but it also provides 3G mobile internet services.
It is about to launch the Huawei E5832 3G/Wi-Fi modem -- a model that is functionally basic (it provides a Wi-Fi hotspot you can connect to, and has some basic indicator lights on the front) but is commensurately attractively priced.
Internode will be charging only $49 for the modem on a 24 month contract, or $149 with a month-by-month plan that customers are free to leave at any time. Internode does not offer a prepaid service.
The monthly plan prices are:
1.5 GB $19.95
5 GB $29.95
9 GB $39.95
12 GB $59.95
18 GB $79.95
Internode's Nodemobile 3G network uses Optus towers and Internode's back-end network connections to the internet. As a result, it's subject to the same radio congestion issues that the Optus network struggles with, however pricing is sharp -- especially the 1.5GB monthly plan at the $19.95 pricepoint.
Note, the Internode Huawei E5832 is not available for sale yet, but will be soon.
