Campaign promotion

It's a no-brainer

16 June 2007

It's a no-brainer

Telstra is asking the Australian public to weigh up two very different high-speed broadband proposals the Federal Government will be considering.

The latest newspaper advertisements compare the Aussie-owned, legally sound Telstra proposal with the foreign-owned SingTel Optus - G9 scheme that's riddled with legal pitfalls.

The advertisement, headed 'It's a no-brainer', calls on Australians to make the correct choice on this important issue for the country's future.

Are they serious?

9 June 2007

Are they serious?

This weekend a third round of Broadband Australia Campaign advertisements appears in major newspapers around the country where we decipher the price “menu” for the Singtel Optus – G9 scheme for high-speed broadband in Australia.

G9 claims wholesale high-speed broadband prices will be $20 to $50 a month. But don't be fooled.

When you read the small print you discover the G9 prices will increase dramatically while Telstra’s high-speed broadband plan gives a 14-year price guarantee at all speeds from 512Kbps to 50Mbps.

G9 prices under the microscope

Telstra's economic and regulatory experts have now exposed that the G9 scheme's entry-level prices are unrealistically low and vulnerable to big increases, making consumers worse off. Read why G9 prices are not what they seem.

Telstra has a broadband plan for Australia

Telstra has a broadband plan for Australia

Only Telstra has the plan, timetable and money to bring high-speed broadband to Australian homes and businesses

Telstra continued its push for high-speed broadband, today publishing an open letter to all Australians via full page advertisements in major newspapers around the country.

In the advertisement, headlined 'Telstra has a broadband plan for Australia', Telstra argues that “Only Telstra has the plan, timetable and money to bring high-speed broadband to Australian homes and businesses. So why is the ACCC still allowed to say 'NO'?"

The advertisement highlights Telstra's readiness and commitment to deliver high-speed broadband across Australia, and details how the roll-out plan will unfold over 48 months, starting from Day 1.

Coming to a scoreboard this weekend

The regulator as a 'shirt-fronting tagger' .... what's that about?

Well, when nearly 200,000 footy fans look at various AFL scoreboards on the weekend, they will see Telstra's "guts and determination" effort to win the right to deliver a high-speed broadband network to Australians.

The four scoreboard advertisements will run at the MCG, Telstra Dome and Skilled Stadium over the weekend, inviting the public to join with Telstra in "barracking" for high-speed broadband investment.
