CNet (link dead) reviews BigPond Next G Wireless Broadband Mobile Card wireless accessory and concludes with editors’ rating of 9 out of 10 that the mobile card has true ADSL-class speed, solid signal penetration into buildings, extensive network coverage and excellent manual, while it still has some obvious coverage “black spots”, and setup software hijacks your browser without warning. Overall, if you fancy a 1.3Mpbs broadband pipeline direct to your notebook, without a cable in sight, then the new BigPond wireless data card makes good on Telstra’s lofty promises for its Next G network.
