Just curious what you guys have been able to score recently.

I don’t have anything really good to share, been spending too much. Let me live vicariously (and frugally!) through you!

        The modems are really expensive though, so I’ve grabbed a cheapish 5g phone instead. Since most traffic goes via my VPN it won’t have to track too many NAT sessions so hopefully it works out OK.

          The power supply for my FTTP box died last Friday, so I’ve been doing this while waiting for the company to come and fix the fault later today. I basically forgot it happened because I was able to game, download, stream without restrictions like normal. Only thing is I was hotspotting my primary phone and it’s been running hot. But leaves me wondering why I’m paying so much for a fixed connection

            Probably for the unlimited data. Best I can find is $au70 a month for 400gb via Belong.

            One other interesting calculation is the starlink modern takes 30 watts at idle. Close to $10 a month in power. The phone should use about $2 a month.

              Yup, got about 2.5tb of rollover to burn through on amaysim though, barely put a dent in it by the time the nbn guys came around
