Cable speed upgrades
On the 10th of March 2009 Telstra announced that they would be upgrading their HFC cable network to allow for peak speeds of 100Mbit/s. Melbourne is the first of five cities to receive the upgrade which is due to be completed by Christmas. The upgrade will take peak download speeds from 17 - 30Mbit/s to 100Mbit/s and will be achieved by changing to the DOCSIS 3.0 standard. Telstra CEO, Sol Trujillo, said that the network will be "capable of speeds of up to 200Mbit/s" after further upgrades in the future.
