    As far as I know, Telstra still are the only 4G network in Adelaide. It's a bit hard to work out what the 4G coverage is like, seeing as I haven't been with Telstra for some time, but according to some friends of mine, they've been getting 4G in some rural areas of the state's mid north. Optus, well they're supposed to launch 4G sometime this quarter, but I can see that being delayed, yet both Optus and Virgin Mobile have been selling the 4G hardware for some time to Adelaide customers.

    Also, I read Vodafail are supposed to be rolling out a new 4G network that's supposed to be faster than Telstra's, but given Vodafone's reputation of late, that will probably be a fizzer.

    I'm using TPG mobile. Great value, and uses the Optus network, but I wonder if we will ever get 4G ...? Would be nice

    Optus may keep they 4g network for themselves.

    Telstra doesn't offer 4G on the Kogan telstra network.

    From what I've been told, both Virgin Mobile and Amaysim will be using Optus' 4G network. Optus tend to cover the costs of network rollouts by leasing their infrastructure to other providers, whereas Telstra only do it to appease the ACCC, so they don't appear as anti-competitive as they really are.

    Nothing wrong with Telstra's 'old' 3G.

    Better coverage than Optus and Vodafone.

    While telstra 4g would be nice, telstra 3G is very fast anyway, well fast enough for a mobile phone.

    Who really needs the extra download speed for a phone?

    Was with 3 about 2 years ago and while I didn't have any issues with customer service, reception was crap.

    Now on Telstra (albeit on an old $49 BYO plan) and the coverage is good,and mostly you get some amazingly helpful people over the phone. However occasionally you get a person who doesn't know what they're doing, mucks up your account and wrecks the whole experience.

    38 Mbps download and 17 Mbps upload on 4G (faster than my home cable) so I'm happy Click here to enlarge

    I use the online chat service when I have a problem. It gives them more time to look into the issue
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
