Joe if u buy a wireless card from telstra. U will be able to use it where ever there is cdma 1x coverage - which is huge

or around the inner metro area u can run on evdo which will be much faster.

Ohhhhh!!! MY BAD!!!

Whats illegal about plotting WiFi hot spots with a Laptop and GPRS anyway.. tehehehe

http://www.e3.com.au/ is the site you want. However 90% of the nodes wont give you net access. The Telstra, Vodaphone and 3 mobile plans would be the way to go.. Like Strich9 and Dan said.

See 'Beldon' at the top of that map....thats where I live = craps! :D, too far out.

I have a mate who wants to setup a small war-drive kit in hit car and park it on St. Georges Tce or West Perth somewhere and scan for WiFi connections. Don't think he has though yet.

St. Georges Tce has over 100 WiFi networks, last time I scanned more than 20% had no WEP protection. I cant go around telling people to connect to other wifi hotspots. Its breaking the Law and you just shouldnt do it.

Its harmless using a prog like *coughnetstumbler* and *coughAuditorLinuxdistro* cough*

LoL

:ermm:

The coverage has increased. I picked it up as far out as Midland now

When the Telstra 850 3G network is finished being built it'll have WAY more coverage with speeds of up to 14mbits
