Help with Network providers

Posted by chloewhite14
Hey guys,

I'm currently on the $49 cap on Vodafone but I hate the service and the reception so I want to switch to another network provider. I want to spend the same amount ($49) and I found some similar deals.

1. Virgin Mobile $49 smart cap ($300 credit and 2gb data) Virgin Mobile smart cap

2. Telstra freedom connect $49 plan ($450 credit and 1 gb data) Telstra Freedom connect

3. Optus $49 cap ($550 credit 1.5 gb data) Optus 49 cap

Has anyone tried any of these caps? If so, any problems? Also, is there a real difference in the network coverage between Optus and Telstra?
