Mobile broadband roaming works (I've got the hefty bill to prove it)

I'm happy to report that 3.5G (HSDPA) roaming worked flawlessly on my laptop when I traveled from Singapore to Sydney. I was able to enjoy the same high-bandwidth mobile broadband experience in Sydney as in Singapore. So this means we mobile workers can now get high-speed Internet access anywhere in the world, as long as there's 3.5G coverage.

But mobile broadband roaming doesn't come cheap. I chalked up over S$433 (US$310) in roaming data charges just within a single day, which I'm paying out of my own pocket.

How much would you be willing to pay to enjoy that premium mobile broadband experience anywhere in the world?
