ntsan: I think it would be nice to have a $10 mobile broadband zone add on, there is a big gap between 1GB and 100MB pack

+1 I would be very keen for that. ?And if that could also auto-renew!!
Wade: I would be happy to continue paying my $29 month plus add say $10 for a reasonable data pack bringing the monthly spend in line with the other current market offerings...
amanzi: Why don't you drop down to Prepay, then get the $19 combo + $20 1GB data pack.
Wade: I would like to think my usage is fairly typical of the average domestic consumer, I use 60-ish mins, 50-ish texts, & around 300~400mb of data
iPad Pro 11" + iPhone 15 Pro Max + 2degrees 4tw!
These comments are my own and do not represent the opinions of 2degrees.
Wade: That is an "apples with pears" comparison
I would like to think my usage is fairly typical of the average domestic consumer, I use 60-ish mins, 50-ish texts, & around 300~400mb of data, on the prepay + data pack option it will cost me $10~15 in extra minutes and I will be lucky to consume half of the data pack, the only comparable aspect is the initial monthly cost

Sadly, however, that is not at all fairly typical of the average consumer. $50 2G cheap-and-cheerfuls outsell smartphones by a huge margin. The "average domestic consumer" is not interested in 400MB of mobile data a month. Mostly, they send texts. Hec, I get effectively unlimited free mobile data and *I* usually don't use that much.
In any case, several posters have already pointed out the reasons why the prices are what they are. We are busy expanding our coverage as we speak, so the broadband packs are available in more and more places.
Wade: To give some clarity i should have said "average smartphone consumer" not average consumer, 2D cater brilliantly for the average consumer in fact that was the catalyst for switching the wife and I over to 2D, where i went wrong was buying a smartphone and have since become reliant on their connectivity and convenience :P
People with whom i have spoken to regarding their smartphone usage patterns the overwhelming majority of them only need 50~100minutes a few texts and 200~500mb of data, I suspect this would represent the needs of the average smartphone consumer.
Out of interest, on VF's website they have the Smart 1 plan flagged as "our most popular plan"
