Optus Network Event, May 2013
Optus held a network event today in which it announced its recent 3GPlus accomplishments and outlined plans for 4G expansion in the near future. The overall focus of the last few months’ worth of data was to do with 3GPlus coverage and consolidation across most of Australia, with particular attention paid towards increasing indoor coverage.
NBN to Set World-Leading Speeds
The NBN is set to achieve world-leading download speeds of 1Gbps by the end of 2013, equalling Google Fiber’s achievements in Kansas, US. 1Gbps is around the upper limit of the current fibre to the premises/home (FTTP/FTTH) architecture of the NBN. While the speeds are frankly astonishing, most users really won’t see the benefit for years to come. The current max speeds of 100Mbps that the NBN is offering is more than enough for even the most bandwidth hungry personal user with today’s online services available in Australia.
Exetel Unlimited NBN Plans
Exetel has made an announcement that will have many Australian Internet users excited - unlimited NBN plans! Of course there is the restriction that the unmetered data allowance is only available in off peak times between 1am - 9am each day, but none the less it's a move in the right direction.
New Rules for Mobile & Broadband
Browsing for a new mobile phone or broadband plan? With the introduction of new guidelines from the Australian Communications and Media Authority, you may find it easier to understand and compare plans and providers - at least in theory. As part of the ACMA's revised Telecommunications Protections Code (TCP), all telecommunications providers are now required to include a two-page ‘Critical Information Summary’ to customers that clearly outlines the charges and inclusions of each plan.
2012's Most Satisfied Customers

The awards are the result of a survey of around 50,000 Australian consumers and 22,000 business decision makers over 2012. The survey ranked customer service and satisfaction by conducting personal interviews and distributing self-administered questionnaires.
NBN Receives Praise and Competition
“There is barely an aspect of our daily lives that is not touched in some way by the internet. The revolution in communications witnessed over recent decades has had a transformative effect on commercial and social transactions creating an information world without frontiers. We have found, however, that there is a very real risk that some people and businesses are being left behind, that inadequate access to the internet and all its benefits is actually afflicting their daily lives, prohibiting them from harvesting the fruits of the information revolution.”
Adelaide Gets 4G LTE for Christmas
Optus announced today that it will be flicking the switch on a new 4G LTE network for its Adelaide users just in time for Christmas. 4G is quickly spreading across Australia, opening up a new world of super-fast wireless broadband for Aussies with speeds that are often in excess of landline broadband connections.
Optus' 4G Milestone Event, 2012
Optus held a small but lively event today outlining its network expansion so far in 2012 and some of its plans for 2013. Among the talk of the wireless broadband race and increased 3G reception were also some of the 4G LTE devices that Optus will be offering, or is already offering, on its new 4G infrastructure.
