Laptop Connect uses Australia’s largest carrier, Telstra, to ensure you receive the best coverage and speed possible with your broadband rental. Telstra's Next G™ network is the fastest national mobile broadband network in this country and covers 99 per cent of Australia’s population. If you’re unsure about coverage, you can check at:

Combine speed & coverage with a generous daily data allowance of 200MB, and we’re confident you will be satisfied. Also note that the daily data allowance is a weekly average, which provides you with the flexibility to use more data on one day and less on another, so long as you keep within your overall allowance of 1.4 GB for each week of broadband rental**. There is also the option to get more data if needed during the order process.
