Well it is actually

Always the small print...turns out Tesco charge the average salary equivalent of AUD$47.50 for broadband with phone (based on 2.5) and the limit is 100GB rather than the unlimited advertised. TPG do similar in Australia for $49.99.

Good advertising though.

The TPG site quotes $79.99 for ADSL and phone unless I've misread it.

100GB - I don't use a tenth of that so t's of no concern personally!

Yes, but in Australia it can be FREE

Optus redefines value for Australians with free broadband offer
29 April 2012

Free when paying for a homeline, like the UK £1.95 when paying for a phone line

Only 50Gb though.

As someone said "Good advertising though."

As has been stated on here many times (but most choose to ignore so that they can whinge instead), broadband prices here are largely based on geographical issues
