Keeping up with portable technology
Portable technological devices, including laptops, tablets and mobile phones, mean that the internet is never far from reach. With technology always being updated and upgraded, it can sometimes be confusing choosing what option or options are best for you, your family or your business.
• Laptops. Suitable for students, for the office, and for travelling. Recent technological advances mean that laptops are lighter and more compact than ever before, making portability even easier. Specially designed light-weight and small laptops include the Macbook Air, HP Mini and Dell Inspiron Mini Netbook.
• Tablets. The latest technology craze sweeping the nation. Typically lighter and more slim-line than laptops, tablets are great for students, people on the go or people who are travelling. They are the perfect way to keep yourself and your family entertained on long car trips, with music, video and e-book compatibility available on the majority of tablets. The latest releases include the Apple iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Asus Eee Slate tablet.
• Internet-enabled mobile phones. The advantage of Internet-enabled mobile phones is that they allow you to do everything a normal phone does, such as make phone calls, send text messages and set reminders, plus connect to the Internet, check emails and surf the web. And, what’s more – it fits in your pocket.
So whether you’re planning on connecting wirelessly to the Internet on a laptop, tablet, mobile phone, or all three, there are a number of Australian providers that offer a variety of wireless Internet solutions. Options are available for personal users, families and businesses. But to make things easier, here are just a couple of the options available to you:
• Wireless Broadband Contract. Suitable for long-term wireless Internet needs. Contracts are usually offered in 12 or 24 month plans at a fixed monthly rate. Early exit fees usually apply.
• Prepaid wireless broadband. Offers a flexible month-to-month payment option without long-term contracts or agreements. This tends to be a good option if you’re on a budget, if you want to monitor Internet usage closely or if you want the option of opting out easily. Sometimes also referred to as pay as you go wireless broadband.
Regardless of which option you choose, peak and off-peak data and download limits as well as set up costs often apply, so make sure you check this out before making your decision.
