I'll D/L maybe 5 music tracks a month (which i pay for thru iTunes) Prepaid does seem to be more expensive in the long run (Seeing as tho with my crazy john's $30 will pay for 1.5GB compared to optus/vodaphone $30 for 1GB considering with DODO i can get a laptop and 2GB for $39.95) atleast i won't be hit with overload fee's (which my step daughter did, $40 in a fortnight on MySpace with my plan bigpond Acct)plus my 4yr old knows how to connect everything so i find alot of nick Jr and Cartoon Network on my comp...Prepaid may not work for everyone but it does for me when it comes to kids...

I'm not a big fan of quotas period but it seems Australia is stuck with them for now. I remember the good old days of unlimited Dodo broadband <em>before</em> all the throttling and speed problems, was with them for 5 years but never again after those last few months.

At least I know I'll never get hit w Overload fee's, I know that if I were to download a episode of a hour long series it's going to be approx 1GB the minute the download hits that limit the download pauses and the internet redirects to my ISP so I can recharge...
