Telstra bumps iPhone plans to 6GB!
Wa-hey, Telstra is finally getting a clue and giving some pretty good deals on larger data packs for the iPhone 4: • $49 ($400 call allowance) + 1GB data = $58.50 • $49 ($400 call allowance) + 3GB data = $63.50 • $49 ($400 call allowance) + 6GB data = $78.50 I understand they also don't charge extra to enable tethering, so you could use the fast speeds of NextG to get excellent wireless internet connectivity for your other computers. This is a lot more tempting than the 500MB plan for $49 (which was 250MB) only a short time ago. -Mart - IPHONE 4: Telstra bumping plans to 6GB Dan Warne 03 August 2010 Telstra is again outgunning the competitors with its iPhone 4 plans, offering customers upgrades to 6GB allowance for very little extra cost. A quirk in Telstra's billing system is allowing people to sign up for cheap iPhone 4 plans with massive data allowances -- and Telstra says it is perfectly OK with it. The loophole was brought to the attention of one customer, Michael Tatas, by a Telstra salesman. Tatas told APC he was offered the opportunity to get 6GB of data in his plan for just $20 on top of his plan fee. Officially, Telstra advertises its 6GB plan as costing $129. But the loophole allows customers to get 6GB on their plan for as little as half that price. Tatas told APC that Guy was adamant, as was the manager. Lady who had to re-enter my plan into the system also said yes. The explanation he received was that his $79 iPhone Cap plan is split up in Telstra's system as $59 for voice and $20 for data – even thought the $59 represents $750 of call allowance, and the $20 equates to 1.5GB. The salesman who sold the phone to Telstra simply swapped the $20/1.5GB component of the plan over for a $79/6GB data plan, which was also provided at a 50% discount as a promotion for iPhone buyers, bringing its cost down to $39.50. Tatas' final plan ended up costing $98.50 per month, which consisted of a $59 call component (worth $750 in calls) and a $38.50 data component (worth 6GB in data). Whirlpool users also heard about the plans and were able to get similarly amazing deals in Telstra shops. Whirpool user, SCAT01 was able to sign on to a $49 iPhone plan but got 3GB of data instead of 500MB for a total of $63.50. He said Telstra had confirmed to him via several tweets that if customers took the standard data pack off the $49 plan they could add other data packs at 50% off, providing the following effective rates: • $49 ($400 call allowance) + 1GB data = $58.50 • $49 ($400 call allowance) + 3GB data = $63.50 • $49 ($400 call allowance) + 6GB data = $78.50 Telstra Group Manager of Corporate Relations, Peter Taylor, said although these were not plans Telstra was advertising, they were available to anyone who wanted them. This isn't a standard cap plan from Telstra but instead a plan that has been tailored for the customer who has selected a higher data pack, he told APC. He said the money allocated to data in a plan was one of the most flexible parts of a plan and if anyone who signed up for an iPhone last week wanted to tweak their plan to replace their plan included data allowance with a higher data pack at 50% off the price, they could go into a Telstra shop and that could be arranged. Although most people wouldn't know they could negotiate with carriers on their plans, Taylor said it's a reminder to take the time to talk with Telstra about how you will use your mobile so we can find the most appropriate plan. For high data users – such as people who want to use their iPhone as a tethered mobile modem, this makes Telstra the cheapest network by far for data – even though it is also the fastest network with the broadest coverage. Optus, which has traditionally been highly aggressive with its iPhone plan pricing, charges $129 for a 6GB plan. Virgin Mobile has 3GB per month as its maximum plan at $69, and Vodafone has a maximum of 3GBon its $99 plan. Three is offering a maximum of 2GB data on its $79 plan. Telstra's second wave of iPhone 4s goes on sale at Telstra stores tomorrow – Wednesday.

Re: Telstra bumps iPhone plans to 6GB!
No, the end of that para in the Telstra conditions states: …. Bonus data allowance applies for the full term of the customer's eligible contract plan. If the customer's eligible contract plan is cancelled, the bonus offer will cease to apply. It seems the _offer_ ceases on the 1st November (unless extended by Telstra) peter meyer 0408 902349 pmo...@westnet.com.au On 03/08/2010, at 9:47 PM, Eugene wrote: Hi Mart, this appears to be only an introductory offer that expires in 1 November.

Re: Telstra bumps iPhone plans to 6GB!
Ha! Peter beat me to it, :-) But this is what I was going to say: On the contrary, this is what the fine print on that very sameTelstra page says: Bonus data allowance applies for the full term of the customer's eligible contract plan. So the only thing that finishes on Nov 1 is the ability to sign-up unless extended by Telstra. So, as long as you sign up before Nov 1, you get to stay on the larger data plan till the end of your 2 year contract.

Re: Web Hosting
Thanks Mathew for your considered reply. I was in a bit of a hurry so after a bit of research I went with Digital Pacific which was recommended by Laura. Seemed to have the best combination of features, storage and bandwidth at the pricepoint I was aiming at. They are located in Sydney and claim to be eco friendly in terms purchasing carbon credits equivalent to their power usage.

This means that you could be sharing a single server with literally thousands of other web sites. Your site will be sloww. 2. It costs a fortune, it must be good. Just because something is expensive doesn't mean you are getting anything other than shafted. It just means the company in question has a particular interest in parting fools and their money. If a web hosts pricing is significantly more expensive for roughly the same advertised service, it usually means it's run by a board of directors that are still annoyed with Theodore for breaking up Standard Oil. 3. I take the money, you do the work. When you rent web space from a company, make sure they actually own and run the servers you are hosting on. A lot of web hosts out there are just resell other companies products. This makes troubleshooting a real pain as you need to go through a third party to fix a pesky script. It also means that there is someone in process taking money but not providing any value. Been there, done that. Won't do it again. 4. Everybody loves good neighbours. Look for local companies, that have local support. The last thing you want to have to do it wait until their time zone wakes up to lodge a support ticket. Keeping it local also means you can perhaps go and visit them. I have gotten many 'unsupported' things done by rocking up with a carton of beer/redbull on a Friday afternoon.

It's a long way to Tipperary) Look for local companies that have their servers on the same continent as your customers. I have the displeasure of of supporting a retail shop who insist on working with a local web design house that run their servers out of Texas! The shop wonders why their site loads so slowly... I had a few more points, but the email was staring to get a bit lengthy. Sort of like that old Uncle that never seems to get that he should have stopped talking about 10 minutes ago.

Re: Web Hosting
I use insilico for some needs and I think they meet most of the criteria below. One thing I have noticed is that - wait for it - they have trouble after very heavy rain. Earlier in the year insilico went off line for several hours after the hail storms night. The premises is in Kewdale Road. Apart from that one glitch, no problems whatsoever either moneywise, technical or to talk real English to. Bill On 04/08/2010, at 12:45 AM, Rob Findlay wrote: Thanks Mathew for your considered reply.

Re: OT Going Solar Power. - longish reply
We are building new house and will hopefully be having Solar power and water. Any advice would be gratefully received, OT of course :-) Mac and WAMUG If I may, I make a longish reply covering a number of aspects. 1. Power system You are not saying whether you are Stand alone, Grid switched, Grid connected or Hybrid. Each has its merits and advantages and costs. You may want to look at unisuns web site for a description and also stand alone system costs. http://www.unisun.com.au/ To keep the system to a reasonable size or have a reasonable payback period, its generally advisable to reduce energy consumption, particularly look at the items that require either high energy loading or are on constantly such as: lighting - use low level general light and make up difference with task lighting - stay away from halogens and use PL tube compact fluros or now LEDs heating - use the sun or wood, or gas as much as possible ( see below) cooling - use the breeze as much as possible, then electric pedestal fans cooking -generally use gas , however it seems that most ovens are now going electric, induction are super fast although draw 36 amps I think? washing - pumping - see below in water section 2. House Design In your house design generally you want to have good orientation so that you get the sun when you want and have shade when you don't. I find long thin wings can achieve this the best. Next is to fully insulate your building. The building code currently requires R1.5 for walls and R3.5 for roofs - I recommend that you try and achieve a higher rating than that, atleast R4.0 for roofs and R3 for walls, the difference in cost is not that much for a superior envelope. Then you ought to locate your thermal mass in the right place. 3. Heating Radiant heat is the best and most comfortable sort of heat - the SUN provides massive amounts of it.- So use the SUN as much as possible to heat. This can be done by: judicision use of glass and mass floor ( for heat absorption) hydronic floor heating ( hot water tubes in floor) If you can't do that then you have to move to burning carbon via; a gas fired heat box, an electric reverse cycle aircon, a wood fired heat box, a gas fired heater, an electric panel (convection) heater or a Finnish mass stove In my designs we do Judicious use of glass hydronic floor heating - see Enviroplumb http://www.enviroplumb.com.au/index.php Finish mass stove or masonry oven wood gas fired heat box, typically large enough for wet back and cooking ( ala Metters stove sort of thing) Interestingly women generally require a higher ambient heating temperature than men - probably because a 65 kg women makes 90watts, a 85 kg man 130 watts! 4 Hot water Solar is the first preference, - the Apricus evacuated tube system seems to be the most effective. Enviroplumb has tanks where by the heated water can be used for showers, kitchen etcs and also hydronic floor heating. On one of my projects the heat exchanger is 1000 ltrs see rotex http://rotex-solar-hot-water-hydronic-heating.com.au/html/domestic/10/solar-hot-water-heating-hydronic-residential if the Apricus system doesn't suit (cost more) then the Solar kleen system is the next choice http://www.sola-kleen.com.au 5. Cooling Most people are aware the natural ventilation, particularly along the coast is the most effective and cheapest way of cooling an interior, yet we seeing a rapid increase in the installation of refrigerated air con systems. These operate a some 2400w , so they chew up the power consumption and virtually make a mockery of PV power system . A few years ago we looked in the viability of making an aircon system powered by a stand along PV system. The system looked like costing $30,000 ! At a recent sustainability forum for mechanical systems I went too, the presenter suggested that overhead (high) windows is the preferred method of inducing cross ventilation in buildings without the blowing around papers effect. I essentially call this clerestorey windows. 6.Drinking water With the move to incorporating rainwater tanks, initially for gardens but eventually it might be needed for personal consumption, comes the need for greater filtering.
