Telstra doubles bundled data quotas

In a statement released today, the telco noted all of its home bundles had had their data quotas boosted; Its entry level 2GB plan has been boosted to 5GB, its 25GB plan has gone to 100GB, its 100GB plan has gone to 200GB, and its 200GB plan has been boosted to 500GB. The plans come with a Telstra telephone service included, as then as the company's T-Box set-top box.

The company's consumer executive director

The company's consumer executive director, Rebekah O'Flaherty, said the increase was the second for Telstra in a year and demonstrated how Australians' use of the internet kept on growing.

"Telstra innovation last year found that the average Australian home had four net-connected devices. Nevertheless in the past year, half of those homes have added for the time being one more," O'Flaherty said. "We've seen an increase in activities just as movie downloads and video streaming via T-Boxes and internet connected TVs, particularly among younger families, on top of more traditional activities just as accessing news, weather and social networking.

What our clients tell us they want

"Telstra's new bundles reflect what our clients tell us they want, as everyone from my grandmother to my daughter finds more and more ways to use the internet."
