That's not fair. They've reduced their charges.
Now it's only twenty thousand dollars a gigabyte!

And about 1000 times more expensive than ADSL on Bigpond, Optus or Dodo
Other providers offer this for free.

For 40c. Cheaper just to call them instead.

$45, more like! I just got my phone bill the other day - 2.8MB cost
me $42.90! Although $5 of that is included in my plan. I don't know what
they think you can do for $5. Accidentally connect to the bigpond site a
couple of times for a few seconds, maybe - when you accidentally press
the wrong button.

Send to bill to 'Alan Parkington' c/o Telstra - he thinks the charges are
cheap so let him pay.
