You have to pay the $59 plus $10 a month for the phone, so you end up being liable for $69 each month. On the other hand is the $69 cap, which doesn't require any additional money for the phone. So you have to caps, both of which have you paying $69 a month. But the first gives you half the data, and $50 less call/text money. Insane.

I live in metropolitan Melbourne and coverage isn't an issue, but speed definitely is. Of course I'm not expecting it to rival Telstra, but Optus appears barely functional at times.

I end up having to use the BB quite often because of Optus' crappy coverage (and I am not in outback, I am at surfersparadise), at best, calls are ok but 3G data doesnot work.
