Telstra, while more expensive, provides the best coverage and speed by far. This is especially the case if you are going to Tassie where Optus is useless. Anywhere outside of major centres only Telstra will have the necessary coverage.
Is it just the McDonald's free wifi in Australia?
I frequently use free wifi at McDonalds in the US. Sometimes I can get speeds as fast as 6mbps, which is faster than what I can get from my cell carrier.
