Optus’ network operates at a maximum speed of 7.2 Mbps, and others at maximum speeds of 3.6 Mbps.
But Optus said Telstra customers will have to buy a new modem and “live or work” beneath an exchange to achieve the [maximum] speed increase.
Telstra’s services cost more than double its rivals, with a 1 gigabyte (GB) pack costing $59 a month. Optus offers 6GB for $59.99 and Vodafone offers 5GB for $39.95.
