    Make it a pocket wifi2 instead of USB (charge more for the hardware) and officially release T&C so there is proof of contract details and you got yourself a deal…if not it's just a "you said he said" scenario and when your company charges $1000 to my credit card for 1GB of usage I have no proof of this "deal". Especially if it's not even on the website.

    I'm not a fan of the Vodafone network, but I also can't figure out why people are against this deal.

    $20 USB modem, $4 a month for 4GB for as long as you want, no contract. It's miles ahead of any other SIM based broadband deal I've seen.

    Unless there's a "modem will be delivered by man eating tiger" clause in the T&C, I can't see why people are so fussed.

    • CarbonTwelve on 16/09/2011 - 10:38

      Well, I understand the confusion to begin with given the lack of details, but now that they've been provided and it's $4 for 4GB per month for every month, that's actually a really good deal. + from me.

    • quickling on 16/09/2011 - 10:38

      I negged because of the lack of info when this deal was posted. At the current moment the t&c's are still not on the website. I don't know what sort of contract you will get into when you sign up to this on the phone, maybe someone who does can report back.

    • Maestrok on 16/09/2011 - 10:47

      Well how would we know whether there is a "modem will be delivered by man eating tiger" if we can't see T&C. Who knows…that could well be in the T&C! hahaha

    no one really needs a modem these days.
    You would get more customers if the modem was not compulsary or if it was a wifi modem.
    Bear in mind, that nearly all mobile plans , both pre and post paid come with generous data allowances.

  • King Tightarse on 16/09/2011 - 10:40

    Seeing as this is an ongoing contract….

    • [Deactivated] on 16/09/2011 - 10:54

      He answers question 2 up the top, 20c per MB.

      As this is a one-off deal expiring in 5 hours and likely to clear modems, I doubt wifi will be forthcoming.

  • King Tightarse on 16/09/2011 - 10:47

    OK… so excess usage fees after 4GB charged at 20c per MB

    That equates to $204.80 per GB after the first 4.

    • [Deactivated] on 16/09/2011 - 10:55
      +2

      Which is pretty bog standard for SIM card deals, isn't it? In fact, that's actually cheaper than a lot of them, isn't it?

      • King Tightarse on 16/09/2011 - 11:02

        I think there are probably stats out there that the Telcos bank on: a % of users going over their limit every month, and then charging massive amounts for that "excess" data. Doesn't cost them a cent more, just a common but dodgy business model we are all used to.
        If you stop and look at it for a second, it is outrageous price gouging, similar to Payday loans and other utter rip off schemes.
        Live Connected charge even more - pity the poor bugger that goes over the limit with them.

        First four GB @ $1 each is great.
        $204.80 for the fifth GB is ridiculous.

        • [Deactivated] on 16/09/2011 - 11:10

          Agreed. But it's not really a down side distinct to this deal. It's not some kind of special hidden in the T&C catch.

        • King Tightarse on 16/09/2011 - 11:15

          Sure, but I think we need to put it out there with all of these deals:
          It's kinda like parking tickets… no one ever thinks they are going to get one.

          If you are near the end of the month and your kids mess about watching Youtube or download a movie you are going to be spewing.
          I think the companies do these deals betting on a certain amount of excess each month.
          That's where the profit is.

    • CarbonTwelve on 16/09/2011 - 10:56

      4GB is rather a lot for mobile broadband. Any other mobile broadband service will charge $8+ for even 1GB. If you might need more than 4GB, this probably isn't a good deal for you, but for everyone else this is fantastic value. Having said that, I do agree it'd be best if they published the terms & conditions.

  • dreamzz on 16/09/2011 - 10:55

    Cancellation fees apply on all services which are in either a 3, 6, 12 or 24 months contracts and also month to month services. All month to month services require a 30 day notice period of leave , once the 30 day period has been served then the service is free to be removed from our network. Should a customer leave a month to month service without providing and serving the 30 days notice then a cancellation fee applies in the form of $99.
