Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The network provides a maximum downstream bandwidth of 21Mbps throughout, but the 5.8Mbps upstream is presently available only in capital cities, metropolitan areas and selected regional locations. Telstra says typical upstream bandwidths will range from 300kbps – 3Mbps, compared to 300kbps – 1Mbps previously.
Users will also need a Next G modem able to take advantage of the upgrade. Telstra says customers using the Telstra Turbo 21 USB modem, from Sierra Wireless, can download an upgrade from Sierra Wireless now at www.sierrawireless.com/support but will receive one over the air on the weekend. A Telstra spokeswoman told iTWire that an upgrade for the consumer version of this product, BigPond’s 21 USB Mobile Card, would be available in early July.
Ross Fielding, executive director, Telstra Product Management, said other enhanced upload speed devices were expected to be available in the near future.
