1. Is Telstra likely to reverse its decision to close down CDMA?
No. The Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy
confirmed that Telstra could close the CDMA network on midnight, 28 April,
2008.
2. Does the Telstra Next G network provide as much coverage as CDMA?
Yes. The Next G network offers a larger mobile coverage footprint than the
old CDMA network, covering more than 2 million square kilometres as compared
to CDMA which covered more than 1.6 million square kilometres.
3. Which is the best mobile phone on the Next G network?
There are now more than 35 Next G mobile handsets and each has unique
features and performance levels. Telstra recommends that customers living or
travelling in rural areas should consider one of Telstra's seven Blue Tick
handsets, which are designed to maximise handheld coverage.
4. What is the benefit of moving to the Next G network?
The Telstra Next G network is Australia's largest and fastest national
broadband network, covering 99 per cent of the Australian population.
Customers on the Next G network can enjoy advanced mobile content and
applications such as video calling (available on most handsets), Internet
access and BigPond TV, plus an array of the latest news, weather and sports
reports.

it certainly provides worse service when it works so coverage IS academic

wrong it's in fact much less due to constant performance issues and
failure to operate .

You dont download DVD quality or better movies, child.
And even if you did, even someone as stupid as you should notice
that you get them in a tenth of the time at say 15Mb than at 1500,
if you actually took your head out of that dunny for a while.

Obviously not with tel$cum, you don't. It probably doesn't matter what
speed you're connected to the upstream router, content just trickles
through at dialup speed anyway.

Shit Parky, you can reply without cut & paste?
Or did you cut this from a reply from our resident troll, Roddles?
So hows about answering my question (now asked for the third time)

A question best answered by the friendly and professional staff at your
closest Telstra shop.

In other words, you don't have a clue.
Just like that useless link you gave to check the best Telstra deal for
my business. After I input the mobile number, it wouldn't assist any
further, said the same as you above.All because my phone was with Optus
- isn't this the sort of customer you should be trying to attract
instead of asking them to go to a shop and speak to undereducated and
unknowing drones?
Haven't got the time to waste Parky. That's why we dumped Telstra and
assist to send all the other telco's profit overseas, as you fondly
quote.

Not possible. Nothing to 'think' with.
So stupid that it keeps raving on about jobs for locals when even telstra chooses to import fuckwit yanks to run it.

If you claim it doesn;t, then you have to prove it, else be labelled an

Not really. I was just taking the piss out of Michael's silly claim that
speed doesn't make any difference when you get past 1500.
