Mobile Broadband Costs
Mobile broadband used to be expensive compared with fixed broadband. However, over the last few months the main providers have offered exceptional value plans making it affordable for most consumers. Previously it mostly appealed to business customers.
Optus, Vodafone and Virgin Broadband are all offering 5GB of data per month for around $40 and 3 Mobile have a 6GB plan for $49. The increasing demand for mobile broadband will see competition between providers over the next couple of years.
Here’s an overview of providers of mobile broadband.
1 GB for $15 plus $5 modem charge. This is the cheapest mobile broadband plan available and excellent if you need email and Internet while on the move. 
5 GB for $39. Great value plan in the mid-range price bracket. No excess data charges.
