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

@eatham
You may have missed aldimobile.com.au

Telstra Network reseller.

Actually, that link looks like it is for "NBN RSP Pricing.xlsx" and Aldi doesn't sell that, so...
... yeah, what beeng said:
Ya gotta link?

The post itself on lemmy is this link:

https://codeberg.org/libre-net-au/isps

Assuming you're coming from Mastodon, I would be curious to hear how it federates?

link is in the link field, not sure if that shows up on masto. The link in the desc is to the project this was inspired by. I also made a masto post here: https://en.osm.town/@eatham/113514886525749408

Web readable format and link would be good!

Also why source control a non trackable binary file spreadsheet?

[-] beeng@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago

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

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.)

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)

[-] eatham@aussie.zone 1 points 2 hours ago

It won't be updated that frequently, and I don't see why you would download it every update instead of occasionally when you are considering switching plans / getting a new plan
