Made a spreadsheet of mobile plan data so people could compare providers and plans easily. I plan to update it either yearly or every 6 months. This was inspired by this spreadsheet on all the NBN plan pricing information: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_wnaTFb_3QsdgZfKDrEO6D_Rpzt2clbB/edit?gid=1523306688#gid=1523306688
Looks good :)
Do you account for some recharges being 30 days (Aldi) vs 28 days (Boost)?
I don’t think I did. Will fix that next time. If you could make an issue, that would be good. If not, still fine cos I’ll prolly check this post when I update it
Will have a go.
I dare say you’ll remember anyway. It makes a fair difference over a year.
:)
Web readable format and link would be good!
Also why source control a non trackable binary file spreadsheet?
I put it in a spreadsheet as it is a good way to display the information. If you know of a format which is like a spreadsheet and is web readable, please tell me. (And not “some software can display it on a website”, that can be done with most formats, including opendocument spreadsheets which I used here.)
The direct link is here: https://codeberg.org/libre-net-au/isps/raw/branch/main/mobile-plans.ods
You can try a markdown formatted table!
Works good in github readme, and here in Voyager/lemmy, not sure about codeberg.
ChatGPT would make quick work of creating it from your data, then just copy and paste. Should render in rich text mode like this
markdown table x y |markdown|table| |--|---| |x|y|Not hugely Scalable but is easily readable
Will work fine on Codeberg, but I can hardly use formulas in that. Those aren’t really suitable for somewhat large amounts of data, which is what I have.
CSV to .MD build job on merge to main?
Dunno.
All I know is I’m not downloading a file to open it each time for updates.
Spreadsheet(1)(2)(3)…(99)
Outside of plans, there is also great value with Boost 12-month prepaid if you can plan for a big one-off payment per year. I originally chose it due to having better coverage than other providers (uses the full Telstra network) and low per month cost for primarily call/sms usage.
I’m currently on a $230 recharge for 12mo/160Gb, making this $19.20/month or $1.44/Gb. Due to change in avail plans, next recharge will be $300 for 12mo/240Gb (calculates to $25p/mo $1.25/Gb)
