OpenStream lists every plan it reads and ranks on price alone. Some providers pay OpenStream a referral fee when a visitor it sends activates a service; no one pays for placement and nothing is promoted. How OpenStream works.

Where the network comes from

Australia has three mobile networks, Telstra's, Optus' and Vodafone's, and most brands resell one of them. OpenStream records a brand's network only from a sentence on the brand's own page, and stores the sentence with the row; nothing is inferred from ownership or reputation.

Brands that state no network

felix, iiNet, Kogan Mobile, TPG: their pages do not state a network in words OpenStream can quote, so the network column is blank for them. Coverage at a particular address is the network operator's map; OpenStream does not hold one.
