[DJDonRuben]

smoke signals are the way to go....nothing but old schol here :)

[InvasionImminent]

Wow, I'm really jealous of Australian internet now.

[anaklemanbuang]

for me,i would choose vivid wireless for sure.as it's offering unlimited data package which is telstra doesnt have.you autralian people is lucky enough as there's unlimited 4G provider as compared to me in Malaysia.yes 4G is sucks man.it's really expensive.

[mattiegeesus]

You have to understand though, Telstra's 4G only has a coverage of about 5 to 10 km from the Perth CBD in Western Australia. Vivid Wireless has a far better coverage area and is a hell of a lot cheaper than Telstra's 4G at the moment (as of 03/DEC/2011).

@mattiegeesus Telstra's 4G coverage operates (or will by year's end) in most cities and major rural townships, and reverts back to the dual HSPA+ network (max 42mbps) when 4G isn't available.

[Awa3ui]

lol i dont even get 10mbs

[MrNerdOfHalo]

Where is this tested, because there is no way that was WFi!

[GadgetGuyTV]

@MrNerdOfHalo Sydney, Australia, just outside of the city.

[R33Studios]

@MrNerdOfHalo of course it was vivid.. i can only get a 2mbit connection at my place, but i know a guy that can get a 32mbit connection up in morley.

[Weho2]

TO OP: WERE U LIV NIGA?!?!?!?

[kowalski989]

I know that true 4G is supposed to be 100mb/sec, but I also know that's very hard to hit for now. It's been pissing me off that here in the US every carrier is advertising 4g, and the best ones can only hit 14mb/sec. Telstra may not be 100mb/sec, but god damn 50mb/sec is amazing!! This just shows how far behind the US is and how much the cellular companies here are lying to us about what 4g is and what it's capable of.

[TeamAroused]

@kowalski989 I have Verizon and I hit 24mb all day

[CPGustafson]

@kowalski989 Verizon 4G LTE can get speeds in excess of 50Mbps.

[Kage6100]

@CPGustafson As can telstra. lol.

[fortesque999]

just got the vivid wireless today, havnt set it up yet though, our other internet was a 0.6 download and 0.2 upload, defs a step up :P

[Unknowners123]

Holy shit, 4g is faster than the internet at my house lol

[kgpp2293]

Wow, those Telstra 4g speeds are ridiculous.... when or has the network been spread to south eastern areas of Melbourne ?
