3G Nullabor

Hi there!

We're traveling the Nullabor shortly. Looking at the Telstra coverage map, it seems a fair bit of 3G signal has been added.

My memory tells me that when we last went this way there was no coverage for a thousand km or so. Would that be correct?

A quick look at the coverage map seems to suggest that towers or disks may have been provided at the various roadhouses along the way. Is this correct?

If there is actually 3G signal at these spots, I'm guessing the signal strength may be high but the speed frightfully slow. I may need to do some website maintenance and if so, will need reasonable speed.

We once stopped at a little old railway town on the Streseleki Track and I paid my money at the internet cafe. The speed was so slow that in the hour I paid for, all I could accomplish was to upload the text for one article but couldn't get the images uploaded. It was a satellite connection.

Is anyone able to advise on this with regard to the Nullabor? If you can watch a video on your phone, or even open a website with ease, that's plenty of speed for me.

Thanks,
Laurie.
