What is mobile broadband?

Vodafone mobile broadband is simply Internet access using the Vodafone mobile network.

It's convenient, portable and doesn't require a fixed landline – letting you surf the net at home, email on the train, or Facebook on the go.

How to get started

Vodafone mobile broadband is easy to use, and comes in a variety of choices to suit your needs. There are three plan options:

• Prepaid - you pay for your data upfront, and purchase more as and when you need it.
• Month to month - generous data allowances without the commitment of a contract. Freedom to start, stop and move between plans as your needs change.
• 12 or 24 month plans - optimum data rates, freedom to move plans with free devices on selected plans.

Mobile broadband speeds

Broadband downloads are typically 300kbps – 3Mbps within major metropolitan areas. Slower download speeds are generally experienced in regional areas of typically 300kbps – 1.5Mbps.*

* Actual speeds achieved vary due to factors such as congestion, user numbers, local conditions, hardware, software, download source and general internet traffic. For more information visit www.vodafone.com.au/coverage and view predicted coverage maps for MBB services.
