BEST telecom beats Telstra's Ultmate home line rental, hands down!!!

A recent price comparison of Telstra's "unlimited" Ultimate package and BEST Telecom's freedom $69.95 package, reveals that the Telstra package is almost 30% more expense for line rental, unlimited and long distance calls.

Additionally, BEST telecom's mobile rate is aggregated across all networks (Telstra discriminates against Telstra and non-Telstra mobile rates).
  • Telstra's rate to non-Telstra mobiles:
    37c/min, charged per 30 second block (plus 39c call connection fee)
    $1.50 maximum cost per call up to 20 min, 24 hrs, 7 days
    Calls to non-Telstra mobile

  • BEST Telecom's rate Freedom $69.95 to non-Telstra mobiles:
    29c/min, plus NO connection fee
    95c maximum cost per call up to 10 min, 24 hrs, 7 days
Analysis of the BEST telecom mobile calls across its entire customer base shows the average mobile call to be around 2.5 minutes. With BEST telecom, such a call would cost 0.87c whereas with Telstra, such a call would cost $1.315. Telstra costs 51.1% more than BEST telecom. Another massive saving!!!
