Their website is lacking, however it will be updated around March/April when they have a list of the new sites planned to the end of December 2004. It's approaching the end of the financial year for Optus. > Yep they are pushing ahead.

Drive tests in the regional areas have proven that the optus antenna is giving coverage further away from the tower than the telstra antenna in the same areaa. So I dont think an answer of "hardly" is right there Care to Justify that? there is several locations here that have Optus coverage and have no Telstra coverage on CDMA or GSM.. I get more coverage off a single base with Optus then I do with Telstra with out question using the same handset with a different simcard for each network, Telstra is expensive to use, sh.t customer care (sorry if your a employee/CSR), Uncompetitive calling offers, the justification of "Coverage" is getting pretty week, Optus has lot more coverage in places and seems to put more cells on there bases to handle load where Telstra couldn't be "bothered" in off peak times with congestion. Its quite clear to see that Optus is happy to justify funds to expand there network while Telstra just lets there's sit and collects the millions of profit and let there customers wake up slowly and fob off to other networks. They have expanded there GSM network very little in the last 12 months apart from expanding demand on a few cells where they "had" to due to super overloads of traffic. The fact that Telstra is no longer the market leader in NSW in some of the most popular parts and losing market share rapidly says it all really, unless they change there plans and start giving a sh.t it wont just be NSW.. > > Yep they are pushing ahead.

Lol, a "personal" drive test, what a w.nk arse My sister used to live in Swan Hill and drove a lot for work.

That approach does have the big advantage of not having to fart around with CDMA. It remains to be seen how many havent bothered to do that already tho. > They wont forget how Optus and Voda > continually shafted them for years Hardly any users care about that stuff. What they care about is what works now, specially stuff like the Optarse 5 min call stuff. >Time will tell. That approach does have the big advantage >of not having to fart around with CDMA.

It remains to be >> seen how many havent bothered to do that already tho. > If you live in that part of the world, why > would using CDMA be "farting around"? CDMA has always had and continues to have some very real downsides. Nowhere near as good a choice of decent handsets. Nowhere near as good a choice of cheap second hand handsets. Nowhere near as convenient to have close to free emergency use handsets, like one in each car in case you need to call someone if it stops etc. Nowhere near as convenient a system as the GSM sim where you can move than around handsets etc. Nowhere near as cheap if you mostly receive calls etc. Nowhere near as much choice of plans. Dont have to bother with a different handset when you are in the city, particularly with in building coverage etc. > Optus GSM wouldn't have better coverage > than Telstra CDMA in NW Vic now, would it? Nope, but it does have a significant number of advantages that you only get with the GSM system. >Nowhere near as cheap if you mostly receive calls etc. > >Nowhere near as much choice of plans. I always thought the 18 cents for 30 seconds plan, with $15 minimum spend and 11 cent SMSs was good value with Orange. >Dont have to bother with a different handset when you >are in the city, particularly with in building coverage etc. Is CDMA coverage really that bad in the capital cities? While I've never had a CDMA phone, Telstra and Orange have bases everywhere in Melbourne, and I'd be surprised if the coverage was really dodgy. That said, I've read posts on here by people saying they can't get CDMA signal above the eighth floor, etc. Graham. >> Nowhere near as cheap if you mostly receive calls etc. >> Nowhere near as much choice of plans. > I always thought the 18 cents for 30 seconds plan, with $15 > minimum spend and 11 cent SMSs was good value with Orange. That aint available for those who find that GSM doesnt give them adequate coverage in rural areas unless they happen to live in one of just two capital citys. >> Dont have to bother with a different handset when you >> are in the city, particularly with in building coverage etc. > Is CDMA coverage really that bad in the capital cities?

Mikey, You're living in the past. And you've proved many times that your horizon is limited to Melbourbe (have you ever left that sorry rust bucket?) Things have changed a lot in NW Vic. Telstra is the carrier with the patchy coverage in 2004. Yes, what I'm saying is that Optus NW Vic covers MUCH MORE than Swan Hill & Mildura. Take a drive yourself sometime. What your sister experienced 5 years ago in Swan Hill is irrelevant to 2004 coverage. > > Optus is also gaining superiority in north-west Vic and eastern SA, > > according to a personal drive test I conducted in early Feb over about [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > See, Optus, North-West Victoria isnt just Swan Hill and Mildura, full stop. > w.nkers > Mikey, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Things have changed a lot in NW Vic.

Telstra has more GSM and also more CDMA coverage in Vic than any other carrier. > Telstra has more GSM and also more CDMA coverage in Vic than any other > carrier Stats from 5 years ago Mikey? We're talking NW Victoria here. I bet you wouldn't have any idea about the number of Optus base stations and the Optus coverage in that area. You have never travelled there, except maybe on the main road to Mildura I bet.

Yes Telstra HAD better coverage in the PAST, who gives a sh.t about the past, who cares the the EA ford was sh.t and the VN commodore was sh.t, people go back and buy BA's or VX's now dont' they ?

This has been current for at least 12 months with no change, Optus has no congestion in the same times or any others in most places and addresses any with expanding sells to dual band and adding capacity. The TIO was quite happy to admit this wasnt the first case and funny enough not long after there off peak promotions now say subject to congestion, but I thought you said they didnt have any?

Add up all the other networks and its more then Telstra's market share, that shows Australians would prefer to use another company then Telstra more times then go with Telstra directly for mobile doesn't it, funny how Telstra had to launch a massive compain to try and get some of there customers back in NSW while feeling threatened, yet are the market leader Australia wide.. > > Sorry, youve got no figures to justify that.

Sure beats Optuses 7 a week (one >per day average) Telstra may extend capacity on 12-16 existing bases per week, but that doesn't improve coverage, it just expands capacity. Optus may have 5-6 new base stations activated per week, plus a couple of existing sites expanded with 1800.

They stopped > posting them cause Optus had more every month! > > Graham. They probably don't post them because they know all the "new installs" are in existing coverage areas, ie, no new coverage footprint for GSM. Get back to me when telstra start rolling out GSM gear on existing CDMA towers where there is currently no telstra GSM coverage. Telstra "said" they would not stop rolling out GSM & improving it's coverage footprint, but as it turns out, that was an obvious lie. And as for this argument about 5 years ago, let's not forget that while T & O both started GSM within a month of each other, we all know who had the deeper pockets, bigger market share, and higher capital expenditure budgets in those early years, now don't we? Of course telstra could skip ahead in those early years - they had the market share and the capital $ to do it. Now that Optus are seeing massive double-digit growth, quarter on quarter, hopefully in years to come there will be a Optus GSM base alongside every telstra CDMA installation, esp if the feds sell telstra. That way, Optus can compete on a level playing field for federal funding in regional areas. Jason > They probably don't post them because they know all the "new installs" > are in existing coverage areas, ie, no new coverage footprint for GSM. Incorrect.

The two sites have different purposes.
