Optus leading the way in terms on Mobile Broadband data.

50GB+50GB = 100GB total for $70 a month with no lock in contract.

Month to month or can be contracted on a 24month deal with a modem.

Edit: I just bought one this afternoon. I can confirm it comes with TV and Music streaming free.

I'm close to ditching my ADSL for this type of offering.
CIS is here

From the CIS

This is a Postpaid Mobile Broadband Service which includes
a Data Allowance of 100GB for use within Australia. In times

    Has anyone tried streaming Netflix to the TV to check if the data comes out of the plan?

    • [Deactivated] on 01/06/2017 - 19:06

      it works as long as you play in from phone app.

      it shows up in data usage as $0.0 transaction line item whereas the others will be "-"
      Also Optus app shows % of use for Netflix

      • jdf on 02/06/2017 - 07:53

        Thank you for checking. Do you use the SIM in your phone or in a modem?

        • [Deactivated] on 02/06/2017 - 11:18

          Modem (and tethering)

        • jdf on 02/06/2017 - 12:10

          @pilmarion:exactly how I want to use it, good to know that's a go. thanks

      • Spending2Much on 03/06/2017 - 10:39

        Please explain further?

        • [Deactivated] on 04/06/2017 - 00:52

          means it only supports native Netflix app - guess its how they 'tag' usage. so NOT applicable when you play Netflix from desktop browser.

          Think about how they can display data usage breakdown in Optus app

          So it works when tethered as well however speed is limited to 1.5Mbps for all device connected. (As per Optus T&C)

        • Spending2Much on 04/06/2017 - 00:59

          @pilmarion:
          How do you tether? Normally I put my mobile wifi hotspot on. This wont work for unmetered Netflix though??

        • [Deactivated] on 04/06/2017 - 15:10

          @albanyson: buying $40 pocket wifi modem is an option

        • Spending2Much on 04/06/2017 - 16:39

          @pilmarion: how do you tether the phone to the TV. If using the Chromecast, that's going to chew data.?
          Of the TV connects via wifi to modem, that's going to use data also?

          @pilmarion:

          thanks for helpful posts but i'm still slightly confused.

          Where do you play this native netflix app from if your sim is in a modem, not your phone?

          I'm a bit ignorant about this, sorry!

        • [Deactivated] on 07/06/2017 - 18:59

          @iggs: from your phone, just need to connect your phone to modem over wifi

        • iggs on 07/06/2017 - 21:56

          @pilmarion: Thanks for clarifying! That's really helpful

          So do you just use a chromecast to cast to your TV from your phone?

        • [Deactivated] on 09/06/2017 - 18:12

          @iggs: I don't use chromecast so can't really answer this. (+ above)

      • daveozsydney on 16/08/2017 - 15:16

        how do you mean play in from the phone app? If you're using tethering, you first hit play on the phone app, then resume from TV app?

  • sunset_on_the_101 on 02/06/2017 - 19:18

    My account is only showing it as 50gb? Whats everone else showing

    • gratefulforsavings on 03/06/2017 - 14:47

      Mine is showing 100GB
      Really happy with speed etc. I'm 1Km line of sight from the tower. Speed is great, next project is to make some Yagi antenna to get max speed

    With the 24 month option that includes the tablet, does anyone know why the tablet cost is $840 when it retails for $669?

    Edit: Spoke at length with a sales agent who could not explain it. There's no cancellation fee however, there's a difference of $171 between the tablet and the RRP. To me, that's a hidden cancellation fee.

    Do they do credit checks even though month to month on this?

  • Jules66 on 07/06/2017 - 07:44

    Has anyone else had any lucky getting mobile TV streaming included on the sim only option?

  • R3XNebular on 08/06/2017 - 14:44

    Can anyone tell me when there or not this would be good for a stand alone cctv system to view remotely. Or will I have ip issues where the ip is constantly changing?

    • IMadeYouReadThis on 08/06/2017 - 15:05

      will I have ip issues where the ip is constantly changing

      I am not an expert on this but I believe that it depends on the CCTV system that you are using.

      When I used a standard cheap IP Camera, I had to obtain a static IP address and use port forwarding on my modem to view the cam remotely. Now I am using Arlo Q as a CCTV and it’s really plug and play – no need to worry about static IP address anymore.

      • R3XNebular on 08/06/2017 - 16:05

        Hmmm might start a thread on whirlpool to see if anybody knows. It's a SWANN CCTV system so I assume they come with DNS.

  • FeRGan on 14/06/2017 - 22:11

    I have had the 100 gb plan for about a week and it has been really good. Although, the last few days I have been getting disconnected from the net every few minutes. It has been cloudy and raining for the last few days and I wonder if that is causing it or whether its the fact that this plan get less speed as a rule. Anyone else experiencing this?

  • clem0ximus on 20/06/2017 - 09:17

    For those who are thinking of going on this plan to replace their adsl service and want to share this sim across their home network, I purchased this combo last week and it's been going strong and relatively simple plug and play.

    Modem- E3372 Can be purchased directly from optus for $29 or found on sale sometimes at coles for half price.

    Router- tplink Mr3420 3g/4g wifi router can be purchased at most computer stores like umart for $42. This has 4 ethernet 10/100 ports, usb for the dongle and 2.4GHZ Wi-Fi.

    Hope this helps some people out as there was no definitive answer on the interwebs whether the E3372 was compatible with the mr3420 but I can confirm straight out the box the v3 mr3420 works with it.

    • eviledward on 11/07/2017 - 01:16

      hey there,

      just wondering what kind of speeds and latency you're getting with this modem router combo? may go down the same path.

    • daveozsydney on 16/08/2017 - 15:17

      is E3372 4g or 4g plus? I wanted to use the full speed of 4g plus

      • clem0ximus on 18/08/2017 - 12:22

        I'm not sure, it's a pretty old modem, you're going to have to do some research if it supports 4gp

  • JLum on 26/06/2017 - 16:22

    I'm considering joining this plan but wanted to try the optus network within my area before signing up.

    On a mobile plan, I'm using an unlocked telstra E8372H but I haven't changed any settings on it. It's connected to 4G with 4 bars but my ozspeedtest is only 8.52mbps (compared to by 35+ mbps on nbn).

    I'm wondering if there are any settings I can optimise to make it faster? I read multiple posts in whirlpool that the APN is auto so I'd rather not change it as I still have my telstra sim that I'll use interchangably.

    I read earlier in the thread potentially forcing it to Bandd 3 (1800Mhz) with LTE watch may improve the speed? Or will buying a dedicated 4g modem like http://www.optus.com.au/shop/broadband/mobilebroadband/e5186… improve the speeds?

    thanks a lot!

    Anyone else get hit?

    • rwyatt on 12/07/2017 - 22:10

      yes, me too, in the end they said that they will credit me back in the future bills

    • hamole on 17/07/2017 - 12:28

      Exactly the same, livechat tried to claim it was a "deposit" which is utter BS.

  • morgs640 on 13/07/2017 - 13:08

    So this is 50gb/month or 100 after the first month?

  • watts on 14/07/2017 - 14:38

    Is there anything even close to this price using Telstra 4G network? Telstra month-month 80GB is $160, so hoping for cheaper through a reseller.

    According to Optus coverage map I'll only get 3G in the area I plan on using it(North Warrandyte), but even that's probably still faster than the crappy DSL in the area.

  • ds4 on 26/07/2017 - 10:16

    I spoke to one of the optus reps and he said this SIM will only work on this modem they supply. He said if you put this SIM on your mobile, it won't work. The SIM is locked to the modem apparently. So purchasing your own modem won't work apparently. Can someone confirm please?

    • Spending2Much on 27/07/2017 - 10:35

      Not true. I'm using in an old pocket wifi I have. I did use in mobile, but made sure I had text message switched off, so no extra onerous charges could be made. (Didnt knownif it would send an automated test text)

    • unco on 27/07/2017 - 10:59

      The Optus rep is misinformed which is quite sad.
      The 100GB mobile broadband sim is not locked to the modem.
      The 200GB Optus Home Wireless Broadband however IS locked to the modem.

    If you sign up for a 12 month contract you get 140Gb for $70 a month . Offer expires 3/09/17. Cancellation fee Max $252

    • ycon on 28/09/2017 - 20:50

      Wait does the 140gb come with Netflix streaming?

  • Spending2Much on 03/08/2017 - 20:21

    Just clicked into my second month for this deal.
    Checking data usage, I used a surprisingly miniscule 7.84gb all month.
    Which is either a mistake,or Netflix isn't counted when data is used in an old 3g Optus pocket wifi I had in the cupboard.

    (19Gb Virgin mobile data plan gets chewed every month, as does the Kogan $1/14gb sims I chew through.)

  • daveozsydney on 14/08/2017 - 12:18

    @albanyson - in the terms and conditions the free netflix data is standard definition only.
    Can you confirm that? Or do you only use SD? Was thinking netflix would be a big part of my data if I used it in a 4g plus modem for home data.

    What is a good cheap dongle for this? Its for home use, so portability isn't a requirement.

  • CyberMurning on 31/03/2018 - 00:29

    Even better now under month to month, $70 get you 200gb

    200GB TOTAL DATA
