PC Authority had a recent roundup here:

and picked 3 as being the best value if you mainly needed urban coverage,
with Optus coming in second. AFAIK neither vodafone or 3 have capped plans
though. Optus has pretty ordinary reviews on whirlpool though.
Also be aware that if you have an ABN available you can get 'business'
accounts, which often have shared bandwidth limits, and cheaper overcap rates,
etc. (3's overcap rates are 1c/MB for biz, but 10c/MB for personal accounts,
for instance).
Thanks - I will check out 3 again - but I am only looking at shaped/capped plan
and they did not seem to offer one. I suspect the difference in overcap is
related to the plan you choose rather than your ABN.
We're about to sign up with vodafone at $dayjob, as having better coverage
than 3, but still pretty good pricing. Vodafone may be a little slower, but
I mainly use it via ssh though, so don't much care about speed.
As a very happy Vodafone customer I checked out their offerings - but wasn't
impressed.
