After turning on 4G in the Adelaide CBD back in December they’ve added an additional 25 4G towers which are now available to Optus 4G customers. Existing 3G customers haven’t been forgotten either, with Optus announcing that they’ve upgraded 150 of their 3G sites to provide stronger 3G signals and better indoor coverage.

After turning on these towers, Optus 4G is now available in parts of :

• Northern suburb of Modbury, including coverage into Tea Tree Plaza shopping centre.
• Inner-south suburbs of Unley and Wayville.

But it doesn’t end there, ver the next two years, Optus will add another 100 sites in Adelaide and the surrounding area which will give more 3G and 4G coverage and they’ll also be upgrading over 100 existing sites to support 3G and 4G. All up, that’s a bit of a win if you live in the City of Churches.

Optus 4G is now available in Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.
