How Telstra Cable can bring your home to life
Why are we doing this? We know that internet consumption is changing at home. As evident by certified OECD statistics.
- In 2010, 51% of internet traffic was video, by 2017 this figure will rise to 91%.
- In 2017 a typical household will have 25 Internet connected devices. In 2022, this will rise to 50.
- Over 66% of internet usage occurs in the home, with this rate only rising!
How are we doing this? Hybrid Fibre Coaxial Cable (HFC Cable)
Telstra’s HFC Cable combines fibre optic and coaxial cables into a unified format with the ability to deliver a broadband and Foxtel subscription to the home over a single fully maintained network. This enables residents to access fast, safe and reliable broadband.
At this moment, we can deliver download speeds of up to 100 Mbps2 into the home. This means that downloading videos and being connected to several mobile devices, while streaming internet radio on a tablet, can all be done at high speeds.
Telstra’s HFC network operates in selected metropolitan areas. We are happy to work with you to determine the viability of extending HFC to your property. Telstra maintains the HFC infrastructure all the way to the wall socket within each apartment with no ongoing maintenance for the Owners Corporation.
Working together with you Telstra understands the importance of working together with all stakeholders (including building managers, strata managers and owners corporations) to ensure a smooth consultation and installation.
As part of our commitment, we can offer residents special value offers for their home phone, broadband and/or Foxtel Telstra packages. These offers will be tailored to suit your residents, and are not available to the general public.
Telstra does not require exclusivity to install its HFC network and the HFC cable network does not interfere with other broadband infrastructure. Ultimately the consumer may have a choice of broadband provider on the HFC Network:
