as the topis says, does anyone use vodafone outside of brissy/goldcoast? what is the reception like? i am looking at changing to a vodafone plan but want to know what the reception is like. i am currently with telstra on a 3g plan and the reception is ok. will it be similar? i am in gympie, so some places in town you will lose recption due to the hills.

Telstra is the only provider that has given me good coverage in regional QLD...

As stated in the wasteland thread I found no other service out near Dalby or on the highway between Toowoomba and Warick other than Telstra...

I get coverage all the way to Hervey Bay with my Telstra 3G work phone, yet my personal phone drops out everywhere...

the missus is still on the old gsm with optus and she gets the same reception as my telstra 3g, as gympie has no actual 3g reception (only brisbane and the gold coast has acutal 3g reception in qld, the other regions revert back to gsm)

actually at times she gets better reception than me. at the shop in the main street of gympie i get little reception inside the shop but she gets full. and other people on telstra have the same problem.

i think it should be ok, but i would still like a bit more feedback. i am also going to go to the phone shop and ask them. they do telstra and optus as well as vodafone so i should get an honest answer..... if they actually have any idea that is.

my g/f has vodaphone here in rocky (in a flat in the city) and reception is crap. Another vote for optus, at our place i get full reception she has none!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
