Vodafone 4G: crowdsourcing an early verdict
Vodafone launched it's 4G network across capital cities and a few major regional hubs last week, and invited WhistleOut to trial the new network.

Adelaide Gets 4G LTE for Christmas
Optus announced today that it will be flicking the switch on a new 4G LTE network for its Adelaide users just in time for Christmas. 4G is quickly spreading across Australia, opening up a new world of super-fast wireless broadband for Aussies with speeds that are often in excess of landline broadband connections.
Telstra 4G LTE for 1 Third of Australia
Telstra’s new 4G LTE network is seeing rapid and popular adoption from the Australian public, with Telstra now announcing more than half a million active accounts since it went live just last year. Now, by way of celebrating, Telstra says that it plans to expand 4G LTE coverage in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth with new 4G sites launching in Bondi and in the North Shore rail tunnel in Sydney.
