Do All 3g Mobile Phone Frequencies Have The Same Effectiveness?

In Australia, Optus claims their 3G mobile phone frequency does not travel as far as Telstra’s 3G signal, so they have to build more towers to have the same coverage. Is this right?

the previous posters are incorrect.it is a fact proven by physics that lower frequencies travel further then higher frequencies.

maybe it does not matter at all..
A colleague was expressing his profound disappointment with his 3G mobile phone service the other day, saying he’d just about given up on using any of the extras.
It made me reckon about how slow my service had become in recent weeks (and we use different service providers).
I’ve been using the phone to check my email and browse a few sites on the way in to work. But increasingly, over the past few weeks, I’ve found that the connections are slow and unreliable.
It’s bit like surfing the internet circa 1996.
Is this just me, or is this a widespread perception/experience? My guess is that after the novelty wears off, most people are probably be using about 10 per cent of the functions on their 3G phones.
