I currently use my mobile phone contract for my internet at home too. Unlimited data package with average speed of 4.5mbps. Just use the phone as a wifi hotspot. Saved quite a bit from having a separate home internet land line. Was thinking along those lines, but looks like I too will have to adjust my data habits. We will be renting a room off a very nice lady who doesn't have the internet in her house as she has a sim card for her i-Pad (other generic tablet computers are available) rather than a land line internet connection and as we are not entirely sure how long we are going to be living there we didn't want to commit to a land line fixed term contract. I have looked into buying a mobile WiFi hotspot, which I am guessing is just a router which uses a sim card for the connection, of which looks like a good option as we will be able to take that with us if we move. I will just have to make use of freely available WiFi when I am out and about.

Thanks. I had done a bit of research on Google and thought I may be missing a trick, but does look like there are no unlimited data plans available at the moment. I have since been monitoring my internet usage to see what sort of plan I should look at. I have also been looking at the portable WiFi hotspots, they also look like a good option.

Hi all, My wife and I had our 189 Visa granted last month and we are landing in Perth on 31st May :cool: quaking in our boots with excitement! I have been looking online at mobile phone contracts and seem to be struggling to find an unlimited data plan. The room we will be initially renting doesn't have internet access and I would imagine we will be heavy Skype users for the foreseeable future so didn't want to get stitched on excessive charges. We would also lean more towards a rolling months contract type of deal. Is there a provider who offers this or am I just going to have to put my hands deeper in my pocket? MM
