Telstra Rip off - Wireless Broadband

Taken straight out of a comparison chart of Wireless Internet Service Providers.

To be fair for the comparison, similar data plans have been taken.

Provider Data Price Excess Modem

3______ _6Gb_ 49 _ 10c/M _ 5


dodo___ _6Gb_ 60 _ 15c/M 8.33

Optus __ _6Gb_ 60 _ 15c/M 0

Telstra _ _3Gb_ 110 _ 15c/M 10.42

Virgin __ _6Gb_ 40 _ 0 ___ 0

Telstra do not offer a 6GB per month plan. Telstra charge $110 for 3Gb.

The modem costs for Telstra (250) and dodo (200) are a once off price.
The above figures have been reached, if divided by a standard 24month contract .


From the above data, Telstra provides the WORST possible plan on offer to the customer.
Such blatant is the profiteering from a monopoly

From purely as cost effective solution NO ONE in their SANE mind would choose Telstra.
Yet according to statistics, Telstra claims that PigBond is home to 2.7 million Australians, or approximately 7.7%.

Quite clearly 2.7 million Australians need to re-evaluate their Internet Service Provider.

NB. Good Anti-Virus and Ad/Spy software applications, together with a good
weather program that has data for approx. 20 cities can take up to 600Mb per month.

Therefore, for this practical reason the 1Gb plans cannot be considered as useful.
