FixTel has  a wide range of Australian broadband plans to choose from which can be a little confusing so we’re here to make your broadband choice as easy as possible. There is three main types of broadband which are fixed broadband plans, mobile broadband plans and wireless broadband plans. Fixed broadband deals describe a fixed line, usually an adsl broadband line which provides your connection, adsl broadband plans are the most common type of broadband deals at the moment but that’s changing. Wireless broadband plans are essentially adsl broadband deals which have a wireless router which means once your broadband connection reaches  the router it becomes wireless so you can use it anywhere in the house on multiple computers or laptops. Wireless broadband can be sometimes wrongly confused with mobile broadband plans. Mobile broadband deals involve no fixed line whatsoever but rely on the 3g broadband coverage of the mobile networks. Mobile broadband plans are accessed via a usb stick, sometimes called a mobile internet stick which plugs into your laptop allowing you to get online instantly, so long as you are in an area of coverage. We can help you choose the right package

Wireless Broadband

Wireless broadband plans have been falling in price and it’s now possible to find cheap deals from a range of different wireless broadband providers. Prepaid wireless broadband is becoming increasingly popular and is a good option if you are on a budget and want to manage your costs closely. As with any internet provider before opting for a cheap wireless broadband plan it’s worth checking the coverage as this may vary from one provider to another meaning that the cheapest option may be a false economy.

Broadband Plans

Broadband plans are available from a wide range of Australian broadband providers and by using our comparison tables you can see how the various broadband plans compare and will be able to find the most suitable internet provider for your needs. Take into account download speed, cost and download limited. If you are a heavy internet user you may want to choose an unlimited broadband plan. If you plan to use your internet connection for online gaming then choose an option with fast upload speeds, download speeds and unlimited downloads. Alternatively if you only plan to browse the web and send emails the cheapest broadband plans should be sufficient for your needs.

Wireless broadband plans

Wireless broadband plans have a similarly large choice in Australia, there are also prepaid wireless broadband plans to consider for those who want to only pay for what they use and keep a tight control on their budgets. These options are also great if you intent on moving home and you are not locked into a lengthy contract as you are with other deals. It’s worth taking this into consideration to ensure you get the best wireless broadband plan for your money.

Mobile broadband plans

Mobile broadband plans have seen a huge surge in growth since 2008 and are now becoming more and more popular. Prepaid mobile broadband plans and contract option both allow you to use your connection anywhere you have mobile reception and on any computer or laptop. To choose the best mobile broadband plan for your needs consider the same things you would take into account for a fixed internet deal like speed, download limits, contract length, costs and the reputation of the mobile broadband provider in question.

Compare broadband plans

Compare broadband plans is what we do so you’ve come to the right place. We compare broadband providers and a wide range of plans to ensure you get a great deal. We compare wireless broadband plans too. As a broadband comparison site we aim to provide all of the information in an easy to use format so you can quickly and simply find the most suitable deal for your requirements at the cheapest price.

Compare mobile broadband

We also compare mobile broadband, our mobile broadband comparison service is quick and easy to use so you can simply find the right offer for your needs. We aim to give you the information you need so that you can compare deals on a like for like basis and make an informed choice.

Best broadband deals

The best broadband deals for one person will not always be the best broadband plan for another. For example an online gamer is more likely to need a high end fast broadband service with high speeds and unlimited downloads, an occasional user would be fine with a cheap broadband option and business users or students who want to get online in different places may find mobile broadband the best option for them. Equally the best mobile broadband options will differ from one person to another so make sure you take into account who you will use your connection before committing to a contract.

Cheap broadband

Cheap broadband plans can be great for light or occasional users but make sure you are not sacrificing the features you need by opting for the cheapest broadband plan available as this can be a false economy. Make sure the internet provider you choose has good coverage in you area and has sufficient speeds and download limits for your type of internet use. It’s also worth considering customer service which varies between Australian internet providers from the good to the bad when looking for a cheap broadband plan.

A former head of OzEmail and the Microsoft Network in Ausralia, Milne is now the telecommunications giant’s group managing director of voice, broadband and media.

It is a new title intended to deal with an old problem: how to stop the telco’s millions of fixed-line and broadband customers wandering off to other carriers.

Milne describes his unit as a “grown-up version” of what BigPond (Telstra’s internet service provider) was a year ago.

“We very much believe that as media changes and grows, the telco business becomes more about what you do on the pipes than the pipes themselves.”

Combining content (media) with infrastructure (fixed and mobile phones, as well as fixed and mobile broadband) as a way to retain customers and charge them more is not new. Big telecommunications companies the world over have been grappling with the challenges and opportunities of convergence for years.

“Gradually, what telcos have done is reinvent themselves — even though they’ve been incredibly slow do so at times — through the power of their balance sheet and the power of their people and the necessity of trying to hang on to the huge business they’ve had,” says the Telstra executive.

“Large telcos need to embrace this stuff, and media is one of the next things they’re looking to reinvent themselves around.”

So does Milne subscribe to theory that incumbent telcos — whose old job was to build faster and more useful communication infrastructure — can’t succeed in the new media business?

“That’s what farriers and blacksmiths used to say before the Model T Ford,” he says. “But when the Model T Ford came along, it was the end of the line for farriers and blacksmiths.”

Never mind that to some analysts Telstra is the farrier in that metaphor, not the Model T, given that its shortcomings were laid bare at its interim results briefing this month when chief executive David Thodey downgraded profit guidance for the third time in six months, and admitted the decay in the fixed-line telephony business had spread to other parts of the empire, including broadband.

“It is critically important for us to really address this,” Thodey said at the results briefing, before singling out Milne, who joined Telstra in 2002, as someone who “can really make a difference”.

It won’t be easy. Telstra’s revenue from its fixed-line services fell 6.9 per cent to $3 billion in the six months to December — a slump that was not offset by growth in the mobile and broadband divisions.

Meanwhile, increased competition in the fixed broadband market meant 30,000 customers went somewhere else for the half.

Telstra’s directories business, Sensis, which is overseen by Bruce Akhurst, was also affected by the advertising downturn, with revenue down 7.3 per cent to $959 million, while pay-television operator Foxtel is facing slower subscriber growth. (Foxtel is 50 per cent owned by Telstra and 25 per cent owned by News Limited, publisher of The Australian. James Packer’s Consolidated Media Holdings has the other 25 per cent).

These are operational challenges that will be around long after Telstra’s tortuous negotiations with the government over the proposed national broadband network are completed. And while every media business faces competitive threats — as markets fragment, consumers flex their muscles and new entrants such as internet television evolve — Thodey has now linked content with the success of the pipes, whether fixed-line or broadband.

Milne says Telstra has been at the vanguard of new media in Australia since Ted Pretty arrived from Optus in 1997. Pretty, who oversaw Telstra’s ill-fated dot.com forays, including Sausage Software, ran a number of more successful businesses, including Sensis, before resigning in 2005 after Sol Trujillo replaced Ziggy Switkowski at the top.

“I’m reasonably happy but I hope not complacent,” says Milne. “I’m happy because one way or another through a succession of regimes at Telstra, and CEOs including Ziggy and Sol and David — all of those CEOs and the boards behind them have supported an appropriate level of investment in what’s broadly called new media.”

Telstra is betting it will be able to recover some of that fixed-line and broadband revenue through two bits of new technology that combine the various parts of the business.

The first is T-Hub, a device that attempts to reinvent the home phone (and get some of those fixed-line customers back) by grouping a wireless telephone, a 17.5cm touchscreen and access to the internet.

It would most likely sit in the kitchen and offers services such as BigPond’s address book and calendar, BigPond and Sensis content and internet services such as YouTube and Facebook. It can also act as a news centre through internet radio or even be a digital photo frame.

Telstra has been consumer testing the product, and Milne says the feedback has been “extremely encouraging”.

The second device is a digital set-top box called the T-Box. This will allow people to pause, rewind and record TV, and gain access to BigPond internet TV channels’ downloads and content.

The T-Box is one of several set-top boxes expected to compete with established players such as TiVo and Foxtel IQ this year as internet protocol television continues to establish itself.

Milne says there are big opportunities in IPTV, but he — like almost every other media executive in the world — warns that quality content will be crucial to attracting and retaining consumers.

For example, Bigpond now has the online rights to sports such as AFL, NRL and V8 Supercars. Milne says services based around this kind of content will become more important and he expects Telstra to co-operate with free-to-air networks as the rights for the football codes are negotiated over the next 12 months.

Milne argues that internet TV will not have a detrimental effect on a Foxtel subscriber base already battling the new digital channels offered by free-to-air television networks.

“IPTV is in my view not going to be pay-TV delivered via the internet,” says Milne.

“It’s going to be a different media experience to what we currently understand as Pay-TV, in other words Foxtel.”

Milne says it is more helpful to think of internet models such as YouTube that don’t “feel anything like Foxtel”.

“Foxtel is a pay version of free-to-air TV — it’s an extremely good one,” he says. “Foxtel is a wonderful service loved by lots of Australians, including me, that gives you access to a huge range of services you don’t get from free-to-air, but I think internet TV won’t be that. It will be something different.”

So what will it be?

Milne says the answer probably hasn’t been invented yet, and that new ideas are borne of new technology. “Nobody thought of Twitter when the mobile phone was invented, but here it is.”
