Hi
We will soon be travelling for a year and wish to get remote internet access to monitor the share market on a daily basis. Will be getting wireless through Next G with telstra but this won't help us in the "sticks".
We are looking into a service called RBGAN which (i am told) provides quick remote Broadband to approx 2/3 of the country(roughly a line running N to S from the Isa,west of that has coverage). Approx 1k to set up but have heard it may cost $8 per meg?. Anyone know about this?.
Also maybe Sat is an option?. Does anyone use this for the purpose we are looking at?.
Any help or links to the above appreciated.
Thanks Lyndon & Bernadette

Hi
I have been trading on the road for a couple of years now.
I still use Telstra CDMA wireless broadband with an external antenna.
(I will change to NextG when CDMA shuts down) the connection is adequate for my Trading Platform (iress)
I restrict my travels to CDMA areas - using the CDMA coverage maps to select campsites. Ive never found this to be a problem. I have been surprised how many
places ive been able to get signal.
Most of my trading is 'end of day' trading.
if you have any other questions,
email me
