It’s not very often I get impressed but I sure was impressed today. I left our home at Redbank Plains at Ipswich today to head to Dicky Beach, Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast. During this trip I decided to listed to an Internet radio station that I like to listen to.
To my amazment I was able to listen to the radion station with only three minor interuptions.
- The first was at Indooroopilly on the Western Freeway for about 10 to 15 secdons.
- The second was at the Redcliff turn off for about five seconds.
- The final interruption was at the racecourse heading into Caloundra and that was only for about a second.
I’m with VirginMobile which uses the Optus network. I was astounded that I was able to use the Internet all that way with only minor interruptions.
Another interesting fact is that I was on the road for one and a half hours and used up 47.5 MB of data. Not bad at all at 64k using HE-ACC. On the way home I’ll try 96k MP3 and see how I go.
