Telstra says it is introducing new Wi-Fi technology that will push in-home speeds and coverage to higher levels, along with new home Internet bundles that include bonus three-month subscriptions to leading streaming video services Netflix, Stan and Presto.Stuart Bird, Telstra
executive director of fixed products and services, said that, with video now
making up almost two-thirds of the data carried over Telstra’s fixed network,
the telco is focussing on in-home streaming.
“To keep customers streaming smoothly, we’re introducing new Wi-Fi
technology, starting with the Telstra Gateway Max 2 which will provide faster
streaming speeds and a stronger Wi-Fi signal in more areas of the home than any
of our previous gateways,” Bird said.
Customers taking up the new $90-a-month “Medium” plan and above will
score a Telstra TV gadget as well as three-month subscriptions to Netflix, Stan
and Presto.
