I've been on Aldi mobile for maybe 5+ years now. There was a time that I was considering moving away from it as it only offered the 3G network for data but I've never had issues. I use it on the $45 plan as it is my only internet connection and use it for everything; tethering to my computer and laptop.

The only time I wouldn't consider it as worth while is if you live in a remote area where the reception isn't as good to begin with. Aldi is cheaper, as others have mentioned, because they piggy back off the Telstra network but at a lower priority. I found that out at my rural property it left the internet unusual at any kind of peak time, it has gotten better in the past 12 months and if I'd have lived there I would even now definitely move to Telstra Mobile.

Living in Melbourne, Aldi is worth it as even "lower" reception is still excellent. Out in rural areas, it can be a bit questionable. I would say that in rural towns it is fine but once you head out of town it gets a bit fickle.
