...There is a catch: you need to be signed up to Gotalk's Xtreme fixed line broadband plan delivering 14GB peak and 36GB off peak downloads.

 
The deal is available under Gotalk's new Combo offering which enables its fixed broadband customers to pay an extra $10 per month and get mobile broadband access (via the Vodafone network) with their mobile data quota calculated as a portion of their fixed broadband quota, and deducted from their peak fixed quota. (Data uploaded and downloaded via the mobile service is deducted from the fixed service's download quota).

Twenty percent of the fixed service data quota is available via wireless. Customers on the Express plan (0.5GB peak) plan get up to 100MB of wireless data. On other plans the portions are: 3GB - 600MB $39.95; 5GB -1GB $49.95; 8GB -1.6GB $59.95; 11GB -2.2GB $69.95 and 14GB -2.8GB $79.95. Customers not taking a Gotalk fixed phone service pay an extra $10 per month, and prices in non-metro areas are higher.

Gotalk charges $79 for a USB wireless modem, or $5 per month. Gotalk is also releasing five standalone wireless plans priced from $19.95 (BYO modem) for those customers who are looking for a wireless only solution. Prices start from $19.95 per month for a 1GB plan with BYO USB wireless modem.
