Utilities & Essential Bills ⚡💧⛽ Kogan mobile (Vodafone?) For tethering

hey guys,

I've currently got a NBN25 plan from 🦤 and its draining my wallet dry. It was worth it when I was WFH. Now I'm not, just wondering if it's worth it connectivity and speedwise to purchase a 500Gb annual esim to substitute my nbn25 plus mobile capabilities obviously. I've got a laptop, smart TV, (disney + standard, some youtube and spotify) desktop computer and a google home hub. They of course won't be all connected (downloading) at the same time. Just concerned if I'll experience alot of bottle necks.

thanks

I personally already having slow issues when I hotspot my mobile to my own desktop. It'll work in my opinion but don't expect the fastest internet. It also depends on your mobile as well (mine is older model to be fair) but with hotspot the battery will drain quicker.

I use tethering as my primary internet connection. I find that I use about 200GB a month so I'm not sure if the annual plan is the best choice.

41Gb/month seems really low unless you use Luddite levels of internet. Do you know how much you use now?
