Page 2 of 2 As you can imagine, Alcatel-Lucent are pretty chuffed about laying such a long piece of cable, too. Telstra says the increased capacity is good news for its retail and wholesale customers, who will enjoy: - Higher Internet speeds and greater security when they access information from the United States on Telstra's Next G network and through BigPond, and when they use services such as telecommuting and videoconferencing - An expanded range and quality of services for business customers including advanced multimedia and e-commerce applications, and more intelligent network services. Kate McKenzie, Group Managing Director, Telstra Wholesale said that “Telstra first invested in Next G wireless broadband and ADSL2+ fixed broadband, and now we are investing in undersea cables to give our customers the best experience possible.” McKenzie continued: "All of these investments are occurring where there are benefits for customers, and where Telstra can make a commercial return on its investment.”
