work in Tasmania?

How can I get WiFi when traveling in Tasmania?

Most HVE properties do not provide WiFi. Your best answer will be either set up your mobile phone as a WiFi hotspot or buy a prepaid portable WiFi device. These devices get internet form the mobile phone network, then make it available to you as WiFi.
Although not perfect, Telstra provides the best coverage throughout Tasmania. The Telstra Mobile Network offers 4G service in all capital CBDs, associated airports and selected regional locations. Telstra  states that this device will seamlessly switch over to the fastest available 3G service in other coverage areas.
The Telstra 3G or 4G network is available at all of our Huon Valley Escapes accommodation locations.
