It'd be nice if they did include some data in all of their prepaid plans, instead of just the >$50/mo TurboCharge. Those are the prices stated on their site (for TurboCharge Prepaid).

I'm not even the slightest surprised. Mobile data here generally sucks. Unlimited? Yeah right. I'm on Optus PrePaid. Presently there's no data included and no way to get any. The rates are 2.2c/kb and 1.1c/kb on weekends. That's $22/mb and $11/mb respectively. It's a joke really, I have to use data very sparingly. The alternative is to sign onto a plan which usually means a 2 year contract - and the data is still expensive. Welcome to Australia.
