Being in South East Queensland at the moment, with limited access to dial-up, I decided it would be the perfect opportunity to try out Vodafone’s data bundles, which are described here .

Now my standard provider I use for light GPRS usage, Optus, charges 0.55c/kB (decreasing to 0.33c/kB as usage increases) on GPRS Plan 2. Held up against the rest of the market offerings, this would be considered some of the cheaper pricing, as the average users are paying is the “standard” 2.2c/kB.
