Living in the bush like anywhere else has it's positives and negatives. It would be great to have mobile coverage but we do realise that may not always be possible.
What gets up people's noses is when the likes of Telstra and the government speak so authoritively about giving us better coverage with Next G than CDMA and blatantly claim it is better when clearly it is not better.
Are they suggesting that their own technical surveys and the experience of people in marginal coverage areas are all liars? That is how it is seen.
In theory NextG should give better coverage than CDMA but in practice it does not even give the same coverage. There are no doubt good reasons for this and no doubt solutions to the problem. Fortunately the current government has had the guts to tell Telstra to carry out their promises and responsibilities.
Anyone who knowingly raises their customer's expectations beyond what they can deliver should be crushed and hung out to dry. Those who unwittingly give false expectations should be taken to task.- Wood Borer

At present CDMA has only been granted a 3 month reprieve until the 28th of April.
Knowing Telstra, it WILL be switched off eventually.

Found out yesterday what NextG stands for.
At a clearing sale and a dry old cocky was saying if you go over to the NextGully it might work. I'm still laughing.
