Optus Territory General for Wide Bay, Mungo OBrien said, Optus remains committed to providing fast and effective mobile and internet coverage for customers across Wide Bay.
In the past 12 months, we have built new sites in Garapine, North Monkland, Goomeri, Cooloola Cove, Widgee Crossing South and have just switched on a new tower in Southside.
Optus has invested $1.3 million across region last financial year and these new sites will provide improved indoor and outdoor mobile coverage and increase downloads speeds for locals and visitors to the Gympie area as well as motorists travelling along the Bruce Highway.
In addition to these new sites, Optus has plans to invest a further $500,000 in the Wide Bay region in this financial year by building a new site in Tin Can Bay central.
We understand its important that our customers have strong mobile coverage when they are working and living in regional Australia, which is why we are continuing to invest in regional Queensland and across Wide Bay, Mr OBrien added.
