That's the case here too, to an extent. They're forcing a lot of people onto 5g and it's incredibly slow, unreliable, and keeps having to slip back into 4g. They also eradicated 3g, and one network (I think) even shuttered 4g, at least in one area.

Out of curiosity, do people use amateur or citizens' band radio in Australia much?

CB radios are common due to the large truck network. But once you leave the city towns are too spread apart and the people in the city suburbias are too retarded to do anything other than eat, watch tv and be degenerate. So not much radio stuff here.

I am surprised they are shutting down 3g. Shutting down 2g here has some almost valid excuses due to our poor infrastructure. But to shut down 3g sounds extremely malicious.
