OzEmail’s Metrowide Wireless.
OzEmail has announced their new Metrowide Wireless plan which is price comparable to other home broadband solutions. Unlimited downloads, shaped from 12GB, starting at $AU49.95. Upfront costs include a $AU99 setup fee and the modem. Desktop modems cost $AU215 and a laptop PCMCIA card will set you back $AU249. Right now, because it’s powered by iBurst the service is available in Metropolitan Sydney, CBD, Eastern suburb, Lower North Shore, Parramatta and in Queensland’s Gold Coast. Other states and areas are planned.
The plans consist of the Portable Broadband Range, OzE Metro Saver 256/64Kbps ($AU49.95), OzE Metro Explorer 512/128Kbps ($AU64.95) and OzE Metro Flyer 1Mbps/256kbps ($AU99.95), and the Mobile Broadband Range, OzE Mobile Express 1Mbps/1024kbps ($AU99 and shaped after 1GB) and OzE Mobile Flyer 1Mbps/1024kbps ($AU199). The difference between the Portable and the Mobile range is the ability to roam while online using the Mobile service.
Currently it works with Windows XP/2000, with Mac OS X planned for late October.
