Telstra launches its first unlimited data home broadband plans
Telstra has launched its first home broadband plans with unlimited data allowances to match the growing appetite of Australian customers who are now using the internet to access their entertainment.
Streaming entertainment has continued to grow dramatically in popularity especially as more homes are connected to the NBN.
In past 12 months, traffic on Telstra’s fixed network has increased by 40 per cent with two thirds of Australians now streaming their favourite shows and movies.
“Not having a data limit will provide peace of mind as Australians’ data habits continue to grow,” says Telstra group executive, consumer and small business, Vicki Brady.
“That’s why we have launched unlimited bundles for new and existing customers on our $99 and above plans.
“We’re also giving existing customers on plans under $99 a major data boost, automatically at least doubling their existing plan allowances.”
Telstra’s new data offerings are now available with all customers on $99 plans and above now with unlimited data allowances.
Telstra has also revealed Australia’s top streaming areas in each state.
Pakenham in Victoria has been named as the highest streaming Telstra TV area in the country.
Here is the list of top streaming areas of each state:
Victoria – Pakenham
SA – Mount Gambier
NSW – Dubbo
TAS – Devonport
QLD – Berrinba
NT – Gillen
WA – Baldivis
ACT – Nicholls
New customers taking up the $99 Home Internet Entertainment Bundle will receive unlimited data as well as the new Telstra TV, one Foxtel Now starter pack for three months and a Telstra Gateway Frontier modem.
