The small companies are really giving the big boys a run for their money nowdays, we pay about the same ($70 a month) for unlimited satellite broadband through AmuriNet which is a small local company providing satellite broadband to the Amuri catchment areaQuote:

If you can get Spark 4G on your cellphone, then the Skinny plan may work for you. Chances are that you are in an urban area tho.
That's completely retarded but i guess that's the telecom way.Quote:

Can only go off the info provided when I was talking to Spark. If you can confirm Skinny are doing RBI, I will be amazed, and I will be one of the first to signup for the unlimited. Oh wait, only Vodafone have a presence in our part of the country :(
Whats RBI? They are doing 700mhz 4g because thats what they state on their coverage map and thats what their wireless broadband works on. There was a period when Vodafone and Spark had 4g but they hadn't turned it on for 2 degrees and skinny customers yet but thats a while ago now.Quote:

We are with Farmside 4g internet and phone and is $99 a month with 120gb cap but I'd rather pay a bit more to Farmside than give Spark my money
I think thats seperate to the skinny 4g broadband. This is the telecoms attempt to free themselves from having to pay chorus and enable network fees by building their own network.Quote:

It's not much effort. Sign up with Skinny, pay less, get more data, download lots of pron.Quote:
