I always like to convert it to "what I'd pay for my (modest) 25G broadband cap at those rates": just shy of $2,500. Obviously that's not apples-to-apples, but you can't deny that you're being reamed.<br><br><em>My verdict so far is that this is amazing stuff, and is in fact under-hyped if anything.

I paid upfront for the $30pm plan, with a $29 data pack @ 300MB = $59pm.<br><br>Using the iPhone as an iPod Touch most of the time via wireless saves me the bandwidth, while being on Telstra means I have 5 bars 3G everywhere.
