I recently moved house and faced a ten-day internet hiatus thanks to a skinny conduit and living in a suburb on the arse-end of the NBN rollout. Despite my obvious disappointment, this actually turned out to be a great time to test out life without fixed-line internet.
For as much as we all want a stable, blazing-fast internet connection at home, for a lot of people, fixed connections are just not working out. If this sounds painfully familiar, it might be time to consider mobile broadband.
