BigPond have released a firmware update for their USB Mobile Broadband modems.

More information is available here.

We now have available Beta 3 for the Mac OS.  Beta 3 includes improved stability, and it responds properly to the computer sleep.
If you’re a  BigPond user, head over here to download the updated BigPond software.
Telstra Turbo Modem users can download the latest version here.

If you have a Telstra Turbo Modem or a BigPond USB Wireless Broadband modem (either of the USB modems), and want to use it on Windows Vista 64 bit, you finally can!

If you’re a BigPond customer, you can download the updated BigPond software from here.

If you’re a Telstra Turbo Modem user, we have updated drivers for you, however the full connection manager still does not work with Vista.  We’ve completely redesigned the Modem Manager from the ground up, so once that’s available you will be able to use the connection manager in Vista.  In the mean time, you can download the updated drivers and installation guide from here.

We’re putting together a spec sheet on the external modem also, so should have that available soon.
