Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work?
Wireless Broadband utilises the strongest signal from the Optus GSM and 3G/'yes' G mobile networks. This means that even when you're on the move, your connection is maintained. To ensure that you are connected, your wireless modem and software continually monitors network availability and will connect you to the network in the following order:

(a) Optus 3G/2100MHz and 'yes' G network (900/2100MHz); and
(b) Optus GSM network.


The Wireless Broadband does not require a telephone service.

What do I need?
You will need to purchase a Wireless modem - your current dialup modem will not work with the Wireless technology.

This is included in your Connection fee.
