I am on a middle of the
road plan: 12 month contract, unlimitted connect time, 1 Gigabyte data
per month, $85AUD a month. Outrageous!



Ouch! Thanks for the info....

I have a Nokia M800 pocket computer on order that uses wifi or BT to a
cellphone's EVDO broadband. Alltel has quoted me unlimited data for the
cellphone link at $US25/mo (What's that, now, $12AUD?...It's hard to tell
with the Federal Reserve Private banknotes becoming so useless.) Alltel
tells me there's no GB/mo limit at that. It sure is less than other
carriers like Verizon Wireless wants for 5GB/mo.

Wifi is, of course, much faster and available all over our city, including
all the marinas for free...(c;
