While I do appreciate your comments, turkeybrain, I think you’ve misunderstood the post and consequently, the point.
Haha, now that you’ve noted to me that your comment was directed at Chris, I’ll tone it down a bit, but explain for the both of you…

Believe me, I’ve looked at the picture. What it tells is that Optus has exactly ONE Wi-Fi hotspot in Tassie. That blue dot isn’t the number of Optus towers. It’s the single Wi-Fi hotspot in Tassie.

Now, in regards to 3G Optus coverage in Tassie - according to that picture, there is none. However, I’ve since been informed that Optus DO have 3G coverage, as laid out by this page here, but I’m yet to have independent confirmation of this fact (I still need someone to buy an iPhone and try Optus 3G coverage).

Otherwise, Optus 2G reception is fine in Tassie. GPRS for data?! Pffft.

turkeybrain, please clarify your posts next time, so I don’t waste a rant…

Somebody didn’t look at the picture. Unless you live somewhere like NextByte (as if you would), there is no point in getting a 3G Optus phone,because that’s the only place you’ll get reception. THERE IS NO OTHER TOWER THAN IN THE CENTRE OF TOWN!!!!! Before making ridiculous comments, try just checking the pictures that were POSTED here. It’s not like you even had to do research, it’s been done for you. You’re wasting our time with stupid, illogical rants with no relevance to society. Much like this one.

Good post about “HELL”stra.

C’mon, you’d have to consider Optus. Data over coverage, HELL YES!

Someone will state that I have shit all coverage down my way, but I don’t care. Data FTW!!
