ONE for the RoadTM Mobile Broadband uses the Mobile Phone network to access the internet when you're in mobile 3G network locations, whether it's outside your house, in a cafe or on the move. There's no need to wait for installation or to pay for a fixed line, all you need to do is plug the small modem into a standard USB port on your computer.
A free* USB modem is supplied with every new connection, plus there is $0 connection fee for new customers!
Unlike Fixed line Broadband, there is not a choice of speed, instead you need to choose a plan that offers a data allowance to suit your needs. We have 4 plans to choose from.
97% of the Australian population have coverage for Mobile Broadband and this will continue to improve. Coverage depends on where you are, what device you are using and whether your device has an external antenna attached. Speeds may vary due to congestion, distance from the cell, local conditions, hardware, software and other factors. Remember, we always recommend ADSL Broadband as a more reliable, fixed line service if you are mainly going to be accessing the Internet from your home. See our national coverage maps here.

^Theoretical maximum download speed on 3G/HSPA network is up to 3.6Mbps, however, you can expect speeds between 512Kbps and 3Mbps. Actual speeds will vary and may be slower. Many factors affect speeds such as the distance from the mobile tower to the modem and congestion in the area of use.
Data download and upload will contribute to your monthly data allowance. If you use your modem in someone else’s computer, any uploads and downloads will count towards your data allowance. You can check your usage in your Members area by logging in through the ONE website.
Your service is capped once you have used your data allowance. This means that you will not be charged any excess fees as you will not be able to use your service once you have used all of your data allowance. If you find you are using up your data allowance too quickly, you might want to consider upgrading to a plan with more allowance – you can change at any time.
