I can walk from one room to the next and not get reception.
Actually, it's worse than that. I get reception in one corner of the house. Walk 3 metres to the centre and no reception.
I've looked at the Next G coverage map, all around me is red (good reception) except for 2 squares of pink (marginal) right where I live. I'd have to sign up for 2 years to see if I can actually use it.Photo Gallery

G'day.
If you google WIFI LOCATIONS, it will take you to a site where you enter the name of the town and it will list the open wifi sites.
I have it bookmarked at home, but am at work now.
If you need it, give me a cooee.Hooroo.
Regards, Trevor

Drive past my house
There was a young boy called Wyatt
Who was awfully quiet
And then one day
He faded away
Because he overused White
Floorsanding in Canberra and Albury.....

Thanks namtrak, I'll be the silver suki with two yellow boats on the trailer doing blockies every third day!
Trevor, thanks for the WIFI locations tip, I'll sift through later. It looks as though for my purposes the maccas trick will be easiest though.
Cheers,
P

I am an Optus cable user
but,
I use telstra when travelling
I have a wireless laptop and use it at McDonalds, more and more outlets are coming on line
I connect to the internet at Mcdonalds for free , then to telstra and using a prepaid phone card connect to the webmail for optus and download my mail
It is very slow , but OK for mail without attachments , tell you friends no attachments while we are travelling
sending photo's would be slow
because of speed or other reasons I cannot find out about it will not send some mail , get one of those messages that I cannot understand . But then send it to another address with the same ISP and it goes ???
would like to get a wireless card and be able to use like a prepaid phone card , maybe in time
The wireless card you use to connect to McDonalds is different to the wireless card for Optus or Telstra , this why you get into the hot spot where you can look at the internet , but for mail need to sign onto Telstra etc. I think the wireless cards for telstra and optus are specific to themselves , ie not to each other etc
hope this helps
