Now 98% percent of the Australian population has the privilege of paying $150 per gigabyte for data on their phone! In fact, I think I will start watching some Youtube videos on my 3G handset right now - that will be a great way to spend 50 or 60 bucks...and I can spend it in less time than ever before!<br><br>Congratulations guys on pricing yourself into irrelevance once again! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ben]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 18th 2007 11:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Telstra's getting huge data speeds -- at record distances]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/02/18/telstras-getting-huge-data-speeds-at-record-distances/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/02/18/telstras-getting-huge-data-speeds-at-record-distances/</guid><description><![CDATA[while Telstra's 3G network isn't check it certainly has incredible coverage. I am posting this from Coral Bay in North Western Australia, population 150. The closest town is Carnarvon some 200 kms away. Download speed is 1.5 megabit upload 1 megabit.<br><br>If you want cheap broadband and you live in one of the metro areas get ADSL.<br><br>If you want very wide coverage broadband without being tied to a fixed line I am sorry to say but Telstra is your only option at the moment. It's not cheap but then again a liter of Diesel at the local pump is AU$ 1.50 and beer at the local pub is AU$6 . $200 for a 3 Gbyte plan suddenly doesn't seem that expensive.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[engadget]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 21st 2007 4:58AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
