Internode boosts NBN Tassie uplink speeds

Internode has increased the upload speeds for Tasmanian National Broadband Network clients by up to five times what was originally offered, the telco has announced today.

The telco has moved to align its offerings with the national plans outlined in the NBN Co business case released last month. Internode's top plan of 100Mbps downlink has had its uplink speed boosted from 8Mbps to 40Mbps. The company has as well introduced a basic 12Mbps downlink and 1Mbps uplink plan.

"A key benefit of these faster upload speeds is that they better support new and emerging applications, just as high-definition IP video-conferencing," he said in a statement. "Faster upload speeds as well improve the performance of telecommuting via internet virtual private networks, and support emerging business demands for cloud computing and networked data storage."
