Identical in our case with Optus MVPs. A couple drop from 4G+ to 3G for just the extremely high data allowances, and southern phone is only 3G for all of their Super plans. Aldi was only a subset of the Telstra coverage but that hasn't been true for a while now. Not clear what happens with Vodafone MVPs because they are useless here, don't even have decent coverage inside the house so I have ignored their MVPs. And while I have had a Vodafone no contract plan for more than a decade which had no monthly fee at all, the stupid fuckers just told me yesterday that they have very generously upgraded me to the VM 30 plan which costs $30 a month, so I quite literally told them to shove that where the sun don't shine. > I used to be with vodaphone and when the area got busy, > vodaphone cut off but people with telstra had no problem. > Telstra gave higher priority to its own customers. Don't get that effect with Optus.
