This system replaces the cdma network and that closes down next year.
I am not sure but I believe that telstra are slowly replacing the cdma mobile network modems with the new Next G. I don't now about cost's as mine is a (fringe benefit)
My contact ( the sales lady at tetstra) to get the new pin no did not know any thing about them also.

been using the NextG internet wireless broadband for 4 months
great service everywhere

RayJen,
When I had The 3G set up I found It dropped out a lot and we are surrounded by towers but a move outside and down the road 200m all the bars came on.
When it worked it was very fast same as the next G . The speed of cdma was hopeless but coverage was good.

Sounds like you have a problem of using a firewall other than Windows firewall. Norton, McAfee etc firewalls will not work properly with NextG and cause the issues you are having.
Download and install the latest Bigpond software as there is a new version out with substantial improvements all round.
Here is the link to the Bigpond Connection software. Install don't do anything else. Just run the file.

Bollocks!

NextG has been operating since October 2006 and I obtained a NextG Turbo modem from Telstra in January.

The network might not be FULLY operational yet but I am getting some good download speeds so far, though coverage is not quite as good as CDMA in a couple of places I have been.

27 Megabytes of data downloaded in 6 minutes in a regional area on the Yorke Peninsula was pretty good!

Keep running mate, you'll catch up soon

Redone Redwrong NextG has been operational since September 06 here and we have been using NextG broadband wireless internet for 4 months, nearly 5 actually. Definitely no 3G 2100 here and never will be, only 3G 850 WCDMA
Connected to one of the new 200km range towers on Monday at 152k from tower you wouldn't dream of that on 3G 2100 GSM

If you are working on the NextG 850 project it must be at some distant planet from earth with some foreign telephone company. Would you like to tell us which part you are working on with which company on which planet.

Yeah keep running, make sure you put your runnning shoes on or you may get thorns.

You need to push the right buttons and ask them to supply you drivers for Vista which they cannot and never will. They will upgrade you then if you get the right person. Because you are in a country area go to Telstra Countrywide who will get it changed over for you quickly by lodging an official internal complaint process.
