Optus 3G coverage map?
Could anyone tell me where I might find a map of Sydney Metro 3G coverage and Sydney CBD 3G coverage?

No those links are great, thanks guys. Also what do the red grid lines mean? I assume a limited 3G network? Also can the internet be used to an extent with 3G or whats the go?

yeah most providers have a "wireless broadband" offering. these are using the 3g network.

i think virgin's is pretty well priced, as long as the optus network covers your region.

you get a usb like modem/dongle thing, with a SIM card in it, to connect to the network. probably worth researching a bit more, i do recall reading some are more mac friendly than others.
