  What is Mobile Broadband?
BACK TO TOP
Mobile Broadband is a broadband Internet service provided over the cellular phone network, allowing you to access broadband anywhere there is mobile phone reception.

To access Mobile Broadband, you need a small USB modem, which is roughly the size and shape of a USB memory stick. A SIM card is placed in the modem, the modem is plugged into the computer, and you can get online!

  > Broadband available when and where you want to use it.
  > Speeds of up to 3000Kbps, dependant on coverage.
  > 5 email addresses and 20MB of members webspace included.
  > No contracts or exit fees.
  > No excess usage fees.

Please note that unlike other DCSI broadband services, both uploads and downloads count toward your monthly usage. If your monthly usage is exceeded, access to the service will be suspended until your usage resets.

DCSI Mobile Broadband is provided through the Optus mobile phone network. You can check coverage for a street address online by clicking here. You must be within the yellow (3G 2100MHz HSDPA) or brown (900MHz HSDPA) coverage areas to be able to use your Mobile Broadband service at the given location.
