+1 for Boost for me as well. I'm still on the monthly 7GB plan for $22 but because they do data rollover I'm often at 10GB a month. Next tier is $35 for 25 GB which also includes international calls. But I think I might follow you and @bull and go for a yearly plan from next year esp now that I know I'm here for good. 13.3GB at $20/mth including those international calls... Sounds better than what I'm on.

I know you can get cheaper data elsewhere but the standout to me is the full Telstra reception, always great when out in the wop wops for fieldwork or travel. People have regularly had to borrow my phone when theirs can't connect! And still excellent in the city though I haven't extensively tested it indoors.

haha I just checked my usage for the last 6 months and I've only used 26.69GB.. 11GB of which was Saturday night because I streamed Prime video and Foxtel for hours in a motel without Wi-Fi. I'm absolutely moving to the 170GB plan!
