Runs on Optus, I've not had any problem with coverage, it's 4g max but
then I'm not sure that 5g is worth the bother.
Checking on their app, I see that I have 92.86GB of available data! Not
sure what I'm going to do with it.

Looking at their site, they don't offer my plan anymore, $15 for
unlimited call and 4GB per 28 days seems to be the cheapest now.

My friend who also has an Amaysim account lives in Maddingly which is on
the opposite side of Bacchus Marsh to me. She's had her account with
them for some years and is pretty happy, but then she's also an Iphone
freak so she's probably easily amused :)

If they run on the Optus network then I'll give it a miss. Optus is
thoroughly hopeless here and I'd never use them again.

Looks like *everything* up on that bleak windswept old mesa is
thoroughly hopeless. Ah well, at least it all gives you something to
whinge about.

Nothing astonishes Noddy so much as common sense and plain dealing.

wingman had Optus and was forever screaming about waiting for something
to d/load up at the block. He's now swapped to Hel$tra and happy so far,
know more at Easter.although i think he's going to be dissapointed.
Local tower has very bad congestion issues, which means accesss to sites
like Vicemergency, CFA, FRV etc just time out at times.

Lol. I get 180gb a month, which is great, if I could use it.

Nasty.

Optus is crap. Lots of dropouts, interference and/or dead dials. And
it's not just around here either. I had to go out to Hallam to pick some
shit up last week and made a few calls on the way, and the call quality
was rubbish.

Wife and I are both on Optus, and it's not unusual for her to send me a
text message and I get it 4 hours later.
