I hardly ever use the internet anymore at home and have decided I am going to cancel my account (out of contract)
If I know my parents password for Telstra and I have a Telstra air available in close proximity, am I able to log in as often as I want??
I’m just wondering if there’s a limit to how long or how often I use it?
Eg if I randomly used it once a week to stream one episode of something?
I wouldn't rely on it for streaming. Why don't you increase phone data if you're only streaming one episode a week?

You can use it as much/long as you want, until your parents data cap runs out.
All air usage comes of their data plan.

"Find out how to activate and use Telstra Air and Fon hotspots while you’re out and about. Once you’ve activated, Wi-Fi data is free at these hotspots, so you’re not eating into your home or mobile data allowance when using them."
Oh its changed recently then!? NICE!!
Thanks everyone.
I’m also looking at hugely increasing data on my phone instead.
why don't you snap up a cheap sim that comes with data…
kogan can be a pain… but cheap

they pop up here and there
or…. some cheap starter packs on special.
slap them in an old phone to tether to your laptop.
or usb tether across.
another idea is the belong sim method
How does this work?
Yeah if there's a way to access telstra air with belong, please explain!
Need to login each time and the session goes on 12 hours. 2Mbps download capped (maximum 250k/s). Sometimes the login page stuck, but generally it's reliable.
Actually it has been my home internet for the last whole year lol
No limit encountered when I had access but the quality of the connection depends on the congestion and luck.
