iirc, iinet utilises the telstra network for its 4g and provides great service in Ipswich


$94.75 and on Optus. Plus a modem dongle thing. Still organising other things into the budget first.

The guy in the Telstra shop tried to suggest we buy a wireless modem and putting it next to a window but I had to point out that since we'll be in a public place someone would most likely walk off with it. But he was very helpful after I mentioned Robot Wars. The girl in the Optus shop threw a pamphlet at me, told me to buy the modem/card from Target and went back to chatting to her friend. And the Vodafone guy didn't have any information because they don't have 4G in Toowoomba and suggested that I drive to the Ipswich shop and ask them.

I would also suggest an external antenna, anything over 7dB should help ensure you maintain a strong 4G signal. The Telstra 4G Ultimate modem is fairly good, we've had good success with these at work using them in rural locations where 3G/4G service is crap in general.

According to iinet's website they use the Optus network for 3G and 4G.

According to Optus, the art gallery has 4G outdoor coverage.

Do you guys have all the batteries replaced in the little bots?

Has anyone tried a test assembly of the roof?

We haven't swapped batteries yet in the ants….we will probably have to do that before next wednesday when we set em up.

Roof ….we are just going to have to improvise on the day. We do have 5 hours to set it up so we should be fine Shocked
