Statistics
New statistics show that a million Australians signed up to broadband internet during the past year.
New connections were up fifty percent over the previous year.
Whilst 70 per cent of Australian households are connected to the internet only 43 per cent have access to broadband.
The Australian Capital Territory has the highest proportion - 58 per cent, whilst Tasmania has 32 per cent.
What are the different connection profiles?
When connecting to the Next G network via a data device (such as the Telstra Turbo Modem), you can connect with a couple of different profiles. The only practical difference between these three profiles is the time out period (that is, the amount of time without data being transmitted after which the user will be automatically disconnected)
- user@telstra.pcpack - this domain has a 15 minute timeout period (recommended for users on time based plans)
- user@telstra.datapack - this domain has a 2 hour timeout period (recommended for users on data based plans)
- user@telstra.internet - this domain does not have a timeout period
