This is a question for the Burrum locals, does any one know whether there is reliable mobile broadband connectivity at Burrum Sands Motel? Although I've got a week at Burrum I still have to do some work and require an internet connection. Last time I was up we stayed in that housing estate on the right before town and my 3 mobile broadband didn't work. I'll get a prepaid Telstra one if I know it'll work.

Thanks.

last year my telstra express card worked with no problems

I work at dick smith part time, so i can tell u that if you want any type of decent connection you will have to fork out money for the bigpond one. It has the coverage the others don't. But you can check on all of the brand's webpages for availability of coverage by typing in the address you will be staying at.

There are two telstra wireless modems, the 7.2mbps and the everyday one. the 7.2 is only available at telstra shops or T-life stores i beleive. it is more expensive initially but has better coverage and faster speeds.

hope this helps a bit, i know telstra is awfully expensive, but it would be tax deductable on the upside

I was using a Telstra NextG card in a laptop with a small external antenna, and that gave pretty good reception at all times, even inside the units.

I've never had good mobile coverage there (with Virgin) inside the units. I've always had to go to the road for signal.

Cheers,

Does anyone know if there is Optus 3G coverage at Burrum?

How bout 3
Their coverage map only says phone and txt, did anyone try their wireless broadband last time ?
