  Depending on your NBN technology you could potentially.

  If you have FTTN or FTTB then you’ll need a modem.
  If so just buy a used Telstra smart modem Gen 1 or 2…

    Agree for FTTN using the Telstra smart modem.

    I got a 2nd hand Gen 2 for $15 and it comes with free 4g backup

      Don't count on the 4g backup working, it's meant for the customer that it was first supplied to and I've found several that no longer work.

        someone from here said Telstra doesn't disable the 4g sim even if the original customer leaves

          +1

          @Homr: Even if that does happen, don't count on it being usable. A friend had his fttp faulty, after a few days of using the backup it stopped working. They were a current customer. I can't imagine telstra etc letting people use unlimited data, even at 25mbit, without some way of blocking the sim - especially ones that aren't even a customer.

            @bluejeans: Yes but it's better than nothing. I used mine for 1 day before my FTTN got activated

  Don’t be hanging out on the backup sim working long term if at all. I’ve come across plenty that have worked but I wouldn’t be hanging onto it using it as my main source of internet.

  Buy a SIM card like boost and use that… you’ll get better speeds too…
