Cheap Prepaid Wireless Internet Sticks Compared

Internet sticks, sometimes called USB Dongles or Mobile Broadband, are a newer type of broadband. They function on the mobile networks, the same network that your mobile phone runs on. The kind of speed you’re looking to get will be based on the mobile reception in your area, so it’s important to get a check on coverage and speed before going with an internet stick plan. While there are many providers for internet sticks out there, there are only 3 major networks. When signing up for a new plan, make sure to check out what kind of network the internet stick runs on as well getting a quote on speed. The network with the best reception will be your best shot for a good connection. If you want to test the waters of mobile reception, most internet sticks are offered without contracts so you can give them a go without worrying about being stuck with a service that doesn’t preform. The numbers provided onsite offer speed checks for you to find out what kind of service you will receive. 

Prepaid internet USB sticks are also good for mobile internet users who don't tend to use much internet and like to pay for what they use and not what they don't use. Sick and tired of paying for internet plans where you don't take full advantage of the data?  Prepaid internet USB sticks might be your best option. When comparing prepaid internet USB stick plans, make sure you understand all of the charges. Most companies who sell prepaid internet USB stick plans will charge per hour as well as just per per megabyte. Make sure you call each company to find out how they charge for their usage. If you are new to the internet, and just want to find out what all the fuss is about, and maybe check your emails and little bit of browsing, prepaid internet USB sticks are most likely your best option.

We highly recommend getting speed and coverage checks done before going with a provider. USB internet plans can vary in speeds depending on the area you are in, and the network you are using. The different mobile networks that USB sticks use are: 3G, NextG, and 4G. The speeds of 3G range from .3mb/s to 7.2mb/s. The speeds of NextG range from .5mb/s to 8mb/s. The 4G networks speeds range from 20mb/s – 40mb/s. But as 4G is only available in a very selected few areas of Australia, this means you will need to call the provider you are after so that you can understand what is available at your address (or the area you will be using the service). Once you’ve found a good price and an internet stick that will run well in your area, you’re set!
