Notice how in Australia “Net Neutrality” isn’t really an issue? That’s what happens when users pay consummate with their usage.

To this day, it amazes me that australian carriers still have these sorts of restrictions. Then again, it amazes me we still accept ‘download quotas’ on our broadband.

It’s working for me on standard 3G iPhone, ver 3.0 (7A341) on vodafone network, speed is good, tested that it worked and turned it off in case the black helicopters appeared… ;)

What sort of draconian measures are these? I can use my Nokia e51 as a bluetooth modem, no problems. (Mind you I can also send mms’ and have been able to since day one).

From the Optus point of view I would have thought more data consumed (whether on the device or laptop) equal more money…
