Is this some weird thing in Oz because wired internet is shite? 50G on a phone! Have you never heard of wifi?
Last time I was in NZ I saw a Spark billboard offering "Unlimited" which worked out to 80Gb and then shaping.
And yes, Australia has one of the fastest mobile networks across the world precisely BECAUSE our public wifi and terrestrial internet is so shite.

the wifi at home is shit, because our home internet is shit, because we were a new development tacked on to an existing, and we are approximately 47 light years from the node. And at the end of the line. It's fucking shit house. So in all honesty my phone runs three times faster than my home internet.
And at work too much shit is blocked on the network.

Mobile speeds here are fine (easily 30Mb on 4G) 16 NZ Pesos for about 1.5 to 2 Gb is all I need as there is plenty of accessible WiFi and the home WiFi speed is around 100Mb. Only need to pay for extra data if traveling to the wops and even then it’s unlikely as the reception is probably shit. Guess we are the opposite.
In London still only used about 2G a month due to free and fast WiFi everywhere -

Got that. Also an additional 10 bucks for hotspotting. I normally use about 45Gb a month (about 2 gigs each working day)

funnily, my new provider started supplying me yesterday...was supposed to switch at 5pm I think. and at 4.30, our power went down and I thought it was my previous supplier being spiteful cnuts...which they werent, apparently that is illegal haha.
was an issue due to high winds yesterday afternoon downign some services
The thing with the prompt payment discounts, is they are more likely punishing the lower income families who cant afford to pay on time.
Which probably has a consequence of them choosing not to turn on the heating over winter when they need it in order to save some money on power...
I pay on time whether i get a prompt payment discount or not, just easier having the money gone at the same time each month.
which I use to offset the kids. I have warned them that they get the first data breach for free, then they pay the $10 per Gb after that.
