To be honest, I dont think much of any of the big telephone companies.
Service is generally shoddy and the prices charged are not all that competitive.
The only good thing I can point out is that telstra has the widest coverage.
Hope that is of some help.
Cheers :)

Telstra is expensive but offer a whole bunch of extras, plus the internet is the fastest in Australia. Optus is solid competition to telstra - generaly cheaper but their internet is a touch slower and without many extras like AFL, Big Pond movies etc. AAPT is good for std and international calls, as well of domestic stuff, but other than that is not as good value.
For me, i'd go Optus or Telstra basic with another ISP

I have had no problems with Telstra. I live in the country and only Telstra is interested in country people, Optus and AAPT are totally useless.

AAPT offers better STD rates, I find. Not sure about international calls though.

Not Telstra. I haven't used the others but I had a big issue with Telstra a few years back. They were billing me 3 months behind, so I was receiving February's bill in about May. Then I asked them to send me the balance and cut the service, and things got worse from there....

i have ever only used optus and dont find any particular problem with it except when i go to very remote country places. apparently telstra being half government (i think) has the best coverage all around australia.

Telstra offers the widest coverage, but is most expensive. Service is good, but slow and difficult to organise.
Optus offers cheaper rates and a coverage almost as big as Telstra, but has some issues with service quality.
I have never used AAPT.
Cheers :-)
