Next G-ood service from Telstra

Doug can you make that link easier to use mate?

Nothing's happening.

You didn't take long to get out of Dally and head to warmer climates did you?

Hey Doug,
I have the samsung a501 and also have found next g to be good, I now have very few dropouts around the farm, I can't complain...
I have also heard about the possibility of next g getting better when cdma goes, that remains to be seen.
I think we are in the minority as most vocal people hate it......

for me it has been fine, even better with the 6.5db antenna.

that link works for me, if you still have problems copy and paste those words into Google or Yahoo,
As for Dally, I enjoyed my stay there, good little town, what WARM weather, bloody hell I'm here in Molong and it's like being in a bloody fridge, I got the heater going flat out, another 3 weeks here then off to Qld. .... I HATE COLD, I'm like a reptile, I need warmth to get motivated

Doug I'm just reading a book about Fairbridge Farm in Molong where large numbers of British kids were sent during and after WW2. Quite a sad story. Lots of info about it on Google if you want to look at some local history.

cheers

Doug,
Brr, know what you mean re Molong. Lived there several years ago for a while. But go up the hill into Orange if you really want to experience cold...

It is true that in most installations it will be a shared tower for both CDMA and Next-G transmitters. While they operate at different frequencies, the transmitted power can be quite high.

What will happen as a result is the radiated signals will interfere with each other. Technically it will be intermodulating and as a result will degrade the signal being transmitted.

This will seem to us like the CDMA is therefore being wound down and that Next-G is really no better. However once the CDMA transmitters are switched off, the coverage should improve.

This phenomenon was experienced as well when the analogue network was cutover. Like now, the CDMA and analogue used the same towers, and like now all sorts of conspiracy theories and doom and gloom stories abounded.

Anyway I am hoping it does improve... I too have listed several areas where coverage is poor but have yet to receive any feedback.

Cheers

The nowwearetalking.com.au website is an example of the worst form of internet use and should be ignored.

It is a PR website run by telstra that pretends to be an independant forum.

see "Now we aren't talking" article in SMH

http://www.smh.com.au/news/web/now-we-arent-talking/2007/05/14/1178995048612.html

They even edi out bad caooments then droped the poll because it was too negative.

If you think you know everything about the website, Telstra, Next G, CDMA, don't come here being a bore and a spoilt brat , go on the nowwearetalking website, shoot your mouth off and tell them , simple as that

That would be pointless because they remove bad comments towards telstra, despite the fact that the site pretends it is a forum. That was my point.

Boobook2, the web site you are referring to is owned by JOHN FAIRFAX DIGITAL MEDIA.

I am not sure what website you are refering to but nowwearetalkng.com.au is owned by Telstra and is a PR initiative.

The SMH article I also referred to is Fairfax, But there is noting that relates to "News" on Telstras web site.

The problem is that 98.8% of the population lives near the coast - it would be better if they advertised it as 98.8% of the country.

Don't want to start an arguement and I am a Telstra customer but I like a bit of honesty in advertising and their statement is a bit misleading.

98.8% of the population is equivalant to about 4 to 5% of Australia as a land mass.

it was on the 3g only mode.
