Boy, I reckon that there'll be some pissed off former Optus CDMA customers
after this weekend.

I just had a look at Optus' website and its coverage locator thingy. The
coverage doesn't look that flash at all for any of its services outside of
the metro areas. It shows 'future' GSM coverage, but I don't know if that
includes a 3G service or not.

I was considering my options once my NextG contract expires, given that
Optus has a $19 capped plan that would suit me down to the ground. But if
it's not gonna work where I need it to work, then there'd be no point in
moving.
