Internet Connection Cost for Livestreaming

The cost landscape for the cellular data connection sure has changed. In Australia there is a new player Circles (reselling off the Optus physical network) who offer a non-contract SIM plan for phone calls and 20G of data for $18/month for the first year (then back to the non-discount $28/month). For an extra $10/month you can get another 20G of data.

So then it's down to the wireless bandwidth available at the time. At night time when it's peak usage time the available uplink speed can drop like a rock. But, better than having only the venue connection (if any) as an option for streaming through.
