Optus speed upgrades to match NBN

Posted in: National Broadband Network, Optus Broadband, OptusNetTags:

The speed upgrade — which Optus first flagged on 20 November — will put Optus neck and neck with Telstra’s cable network, which is also in the process of being upgraded.

The upgrade, which involves pushing the network to the DoCSIS 3.0 standard, will also put Optus’ cable network on par with the planned speeds of the National Broadband Network roll-out. However, the NBN will not be available to retail customers for several years.
