I believe that the fact that all the cheapest 3G plans disappeared in less
than a year after Telstra's dispute with ISPOne is not a coincidence. I
believe that Telstra is making significantly more money now due to the lack of
competition.

I currently am on the Telstra Members plan, which is (per month):

Tablet:

* $10 a month basic plan, no phone calls or SMS included.

* $10 a month 1 GB data.

* no contract

Phone:

* $20 a month, limited phone calls and SMS included

* $10 a month 1 GB data.

* -$5 first 12 months contract, rebate.

Which is suitable as I don't make many phone calls. I am still on this plan, without any contract, and believe I can exit at the next billing period.

However, I can't find this plan any more on Telstra's website. Anything I can find costs more. So I have a suspicion that the Members plans may not be available any more for new users. Either that, or they decided to stop advertising it.
