This interesting link (below) came out a little while ago, but is still relevant. You might know how this is going to end already since Buymax is a Telstra dealer, but the magnitude of the difference may surprise you. Last year I went on holidays past Cairns to the Atherton Tablelands and people laughed at me for having my phone with Optus. True enough I didn’t get any phone reception at all for days. This year I went back to the same place with a Telstra connection and had better phone reception and faster internet access than some people in Sydney- and I was in a house with no town water or electricity, miles from anywhere……
Not relevant for city people? You decide.
Add to this the fact that Telstra just introduced new plans that include a data allowance- and it might just be time to take another look at Telstra!
