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.
Telstra BigPond has cut the prices of some of its wireless broadband plans following recent price reductions by its competitors, but it still remains the most expensive. A new 25GB ADSL plan has also been introduced.
The headline item is a reduction of $70 per month in the price of its top of the line wireless broadband plan, the Super G Fast 3GB plan - reduced from $184.95 to $114.95 per month for 3GB of data. This is still way head of price leader Vodafone's $39 for 5GB offering, however the Vodafone offer is only temporary. The BigPond price cut is permanent. Other options on Telstra Super 3G are now $54.95 for 200MB and $84.95 for 1GB. Telstra said the new prices and download limits would automatically be applied to customers' current plans.
On ADSL, BigPond has introduced the Liberty 25GB plan at $99.95 per month, touting it as being "just $10 more per month than a BigPond Liberty 12GB ADSL plan and $20 more per month than a BigPond Liberty 12GB Cable plan, for more than double the usage allowance."
Customers who reach the 25GB monthly usage allowance will have their connection slowed to 64kbps for the remainder of their billing period rather than pay additional usage charges. BigPond movies, music, sport and games , I-Pond and BigPond's Second Life islands are exempt from the download quota.
