Check out Virgin Mobile - they have 300MB for $10. I've found that to be plenty.

Virgin will be especially good when the 3G iPhone comes out. 300MB of data is actually hard to use when you're limited to GPRS speeds.

I don't think MSN would amount to that much.

someone has done a pretty detailed analysis here...

"general consensus" suggests that Virgin Mobile have the best value for money, and they use the Optus network, so the coverage is pretty good, though not quite as good as Telstra.
