sadly the rip off merchants telstra can only be used for phone and internet , believe it or not we are olny just out of a small city (ipswich ) yet we are "rural" and 3/voda and all the cheaper dealers like dodo and TPG cant be used as the coverage is so bad ...

so we have telstra wireless and a telstra home phone, but optus mobiles . we love optus too and even though our mobiles have poor reception at home , it doesnt matter as we are at home and use the home line if we need to .

saying that , we are happy to go with telstra as we have never had an issue (well after setting it all up ) with signal .

they may be the most exxy , but they work , my mum lives in the sticks and has had noting but issues with internet , some companies ripping her off by installing the net then saying its not thier falult that she has no reception where she lives ... so she is with telstra now too and has good coverage .

GL with the move
