I'm headed to Australia next spring around ANZAC and I'm

maintaining a stable internet connection while I'm on the road.
What are my options traveling around? I've seen some evidence that
there's wireless options but they appear to have download limits.
Welcome to the nightmare/off-colour joke that is Australian "broadband"
- there's download limits on everything, and data charges lean towards
the obscene. :-(
Is
there anything for the traveling Linux Internet DJ that might be a bit
better for maintaining a stable connection?
Most metropolitan areas will have some form of standard wireless access
(CBD, cafes etc.) otherwise you have 3G wireless covering most major
centres.
A good Australian site for info and discussion on Australian internet
issues is Whirlpool (
