We are getting a little off topic here, but I'm wondering how you get
that rate for 3g.
The rates I find are all around $0.015/mb dropping to about $0.010/mb
if you buy in bulk (i.e. buy $100 worth).

For 2g, I pay $0.40/mb (www.exetel.com.au) which is still 26x 3g, but
is bearable for light usage.

Another reason 3g is important:  using a VOIP service, you can make
cheaper phone calls by sending data over your 3g service than by using
it for standard voice calls.
