Haha I feel like Im one of the 4Gb users. A few months ago, I renewed my contract on $29 cap and 1 day, just 1 day later, 3 released a new deal, $29 cap with $10 credit :(
Great deal unless your like me and live outside 3's 3G network. Also not a fan of their telstra gsm (excess charges) data roaming policy though I completely understand why its in place.

"The offer, which requires a 24 month contract, also includes a free modem that can either be USB key, USB dongle or a laptop card.
On the surface, the plan beats the previous "value king" from Vodafone of 5GB for $39. However, 3's coverage is not as good as its competitors, and if you are unlucky enough to go out of this area and roam onto Telstra's GSM network, you will pay exorbitant data fees of $1.65/MB."
Yeah and I believe (could be wrong) you can't lock it to "3G only" mode and force it not to roam, so if your not in the heart of the CBD somewhere its a bit of a risk. Personally I wouldn't take the chance and opt for Vodafone instead but thats just me, I'm not in the 3G area anyway.
Yeah I think some mobile can be set to operate in 3G mode only. My phone is set in Roaming mode all the time (save battery and I dont need 3G)
Nice offer! I am sure their $49/month 4GB users will not be very happy about it :)
