Broadband provider Internode has cut the price of its 3G modem range by $50.
Jetstar's "doing it for a dollar less" mentality has meant that the airline has accepted the risk that it might not be up all the time in exchange for cheaper services, CIO Stephen Tame said today.
Five consecutive days without broadband has led me to what seemed at the time to be an act of desperation: contemplating signing up for Telstra's 100Mbps cable modem service.
When Coles introduced Fly Buys, Woolworths introduced Everyday Rewards. When Coles introduced petrol discount vouchers, Woolworths introduced petrol discount vouchers. It's a bold plan, but can it and Coles' inevitable copycat product change the prepaid mobile world for the better?
Ever since Anand Lal Shimpi described using SSD drives as the single most noticeable upgrade you can do to your computer, I've been looking for the right price point to follow his example and make the SSD move. But at what price?
