    Default Optus in the Outback.

    They say you need Telstra, pfft...... Nope!

    Just travelled Mildura > Broken Hill > Tipaburra > Innimincka > Birdsville > Mt Dare > Finke > Alice Springs > Marla > Oodnatatta > William Creek > Marree

    And Optus worked at all locations.

    No Telstra at Innaminka, Oodnatatta, William Creek or Maree
    And No Telstra resellers at Birdsville (Boost, Woolies, etc)

    Optus work fast enough to stream live MotoGP and TV

    Telstra is the only option at Monkey Mia/Denham. Having said that and using the optus network myself, it's the only hiccup I have found in WA. Not that I have been everywhere of course.

    I couldn't believe William Ck had Optus. A mate broke down and was stuck there for a few days. When I passed through I didn't even think to try.

    Sounds like Optus are really trying. Telstra was the ONLY option when I was going bush, but that was a few years back.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
