Dodo is budget optus, internet can be atrocious in peak hours. But if I do head close to additional charges I've got a Vodafone prepaid- the extra money you pay for only marginally better speeds might consider telstra pp.

A relative has just suggested that ‘Belong’ might be an option.

If you are prepared to pay upfront Boost offers $300 for 12 Months includes $260GB data then 240GB on subsequent recharges.

If you don't use much Data they have a $200 for 12 months includes 140GB Data. This plan is changing to $230 for 12 months for $160Gb data.

Boost also uses Telstra retail network as where the other Telstra resellers, Aldi etc use the Telstra wholesale network so it had less coverage.

You need to activate by May 8 prices are changing as I indicated above with the smaller plan.

Big hit and miss with them. When I had Voda I was lucky to have a signal 5km off any highway.
