When leaving Australia in 2005, it had one of the worst value mobile/internet plans, was pleasantly surprised returning after 15 years to find it now offers some of the best value.

Currently on a Woolworths no-contract pre-paid mobile, A$150 for 12 months for 84GB Data / unlimited mobile/SMS [1].

Works out as USD $8.95 /mo for 7GB / unlimited calls/SMS

We've come a long way from $20,000 per GB (the rate on Telstra prepaid circa 2011, as I discovered when I put my SIM into my first smartphone).
