Greyhound bus: how are they now ?

In the 1980 and in 2000 I traveled thousands of km with them from Cairns to Alice Springs, Sydney to Melbourne and other routes, despite the long rides 12 hours or more per section) it was a nice experience.
Especially the night stops at the remote roadhouses and seeing a beautiful night sky, but also the passing landscape.

Well my upcoming 2018 trip to Oz I want to rent a car, but I don't want to drive thousands of km and rather ride them on a bus. Flying is another option (and possible cheaper) to get to ASP / Uluru, but does not have that experience.

I checked www.greyhoud.com.au on the schedules and they are still there with modern even wifi equipped (where do the get the signal from: satellites ?) buses, much nicer than in the years I traveled with them.

My question is: are there IIS forumers who have recent Greyhound (or other long distance bus) experience ?
