Perth residents looking for a relatively inexpensive way of getting unlimited internet, Vivid Wireless is now offering an unlimited plan for $75 a month. Considering their 40GB offering costs $99 a month, that sounds like a pretty good deal.
The catch is that you can only connect a single device to the plan, whereas the 40GB plan allows up to five devices (like five USB modems on a single plan). But partnered with the home gateway with integrated Wi-Fi, this sounds like a pretty good deal, depending on the signal strength in your local area, of course.
Naturally, fair use policies apply, and one of those conditions is that you don’t trade in copyrighted material, which kind of takes the joy out of an unlimited plan for a lot of people. Still, another unlimited plan for Australians is awesome news, even if it is only available to people in Perth at the moment.

Though, the unlimited plan is only for the Gateway. I picked one up and took advantage of this offer a few days ago. From 3 Mobile Broadband (downloads generally about 10-14kb/s) to 1MB a second on Steam with Vivid is pretty f’ing awesome. Glad I made the switch. Also, because there’s no SIM cards, if it turns out that you don’t get coverage, just take the modem back to where you got it for a refund. I won’t say where I work, for fear of retribution, but you can get it from Harvey Norman or Dick Smith.
