State of Mobile Networks: Australia (November 2018) State of Mobile Networks: Australia (November 2018) Australia's level of 4G access and its mobile broadband speeds continue to climb steadily upwards. In our fourth examination of the country's mobile market, we found a new leader in both our 4G speed and availability metrics. Analyzing more than 425 million measurements, OpenSignal parsed the 3G and 4G metrics of Australia's three biggest operators Optus, Telstra and Vodafone.

It became the the operator to the top of our 4G download speed and overall first Australian operator in our measurements to pass the 90% threshold download speed rankings. Telstra also became the first in LTE availability, and it pulled ahead of Vodafone to become the sole Australian operator to cross the 40 Mbps barrier in our 4G winner of our 4G availability award. download analysis. Vodafone wins our 4G latency award, but Telstra maintains its commanding lead in 4G Optus is hot on its heels upload Vodafone maintained its impressive 4G latency score at 30 While the 4G download speed race is close among the three operators milliseconds for the second report in row, holding onto its award in Australia, there's not much of a contest in 4G upload speed. Telstra's in the category. But Optus is making gains in 4G response time, average upload connection of 10.8 Mbps was 24% faster than its and was within a millisecond of matching Vodafone’s result. nearest rival in our measurements.

All our analysis is based on real measurements collected by millions of mobile network users. No simulations, no approximations: just real-world experience. Performance by Metric Download Speed: 4G This metric shows the average download speed for each Optus operator on LTE connections as measured by OpenSignal users. Telstra Vodafone 0 Mbps 8 Mbps 16 Mbps 24 Mbps 32 Mbps 45 Mbps Download Speed: 3G This metric shows the average download speed for each Optus operator on 3G connections as measured by OpenSignal users. Telstra Vodafone 0 Mbps 2 Mbps 4 Mbps 6 Mbps 8 Mbps 10 Mbps Download Speed: Overall This metric shows the average download speed experienced by OpenSignal users across all of an operator's 3G and 4G Optus networks. Overall speed doesn't just factor in 3G and LTE speeds, but also the availability of each network technology. Operators with lower LTE availability tend to have lower overall Telstra speeds because their customers spend more time connected to slower 3G networks. Vodafone 0 Mbps 7 Mbps 14 Mbps 21 Mbps 28 Mbps 40 Mbps Upload Speed: 4G This metric shows the average upload speed for each operator Optus on LTE connections as measured by OpenSignal users. Telstra Vodafone 0 Mbps 3 Mbps 6 Mbps 9 Mbps 12 Mbps 15 Mbps Latency: 4G This metric shows the average latency for each operator on LTE Optus connections as measured by OpenSignal users. Latency, measured in milliseconds, is the delay data experiences as it makes a round trip through the network. A lower score in this Telstra metric is a sign of a more responsive network.

In our most current analysis, Australia's operators hit two new milestones. We saw our first operator surpass the Our Methodology 90% 4G availability mark, while another operator became the first to exceed 40 Mbps speeds in download connections in our measurements. OpenSignal measures the real-world experience of consumers on mobile networks as they go about their daily lives.

For this particular report, 425,811,023 datapoints were collected from 31,735 users during the period: In 4G upload speed, Telstra didn't face much competition. Its average upload Jul 1 - Sep 28, 2018. connection of 10.8 Mbps was at least 24% faster than its competitors’ in our analysis. Optus, however, pulled off a coup in 3G download, moving past Vodafone to For every metric we've calculated statistical win our award with an average HSPA connection speed of 7.1 Mbps. confidence intervals and plotted them on all of the graphs. When confidence intervals overlap for a Optus's biggest win came in our 4G availability category. It climbed to the top of our certain metric, our measured results are too close to declare a winner in a particular category. In those rankings in 4G availability in our latest analysis, surpassing Vodafone with a score of cases, we show a statistical draw. For this reason, 90.5%. That means our users were able to find an LTE signal on Optus' networks in some metrics have multiple operator winners. nine out of every 10 attempts. Optus became the first operator in Australia to exceed 90% 4G availability in our results, but its two competitors were hot on its heels. Telstra and Vodafone both had 4G availability scores over 88% in our measurements. That brings us to our overall download speed metric, which factors in 3G and 4G download speeds and the availability of each technology. Optus's gains in both 4G download speed and 4G availability led to a significant increase in its overall score, bringing it to 33.8 Mbps. Meanwhile the drop we recorded in previous winner Vodafone's 4G download speed resulted in a decline of over 1 Mbps in overall speed to 33 Mbps — and the loss of its lead in the category. Telstra emerged as the winner in our tests with an impressive average overall download score of 35.1 Mbps, largely due to its uptick in 4G speed. In latency, Vodafone emerged as the winner of our 4G category.

  • Telstra Corporation Limited (‘Telstra’) Welcomes the Opportunity to Make a Submission to the USPTO on Prior User Rights
    Introduction Telstra Corporation Limited (‘Telstra’) welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the USPTO on prior user rights. As Australia’s leading telecommunications and information services company, Telstra provides customers with a truly integrated experience across fixed line, mobiles, broadband, information, transaction, search and pay TV. Telstra BigPond is Australia’s leading Internet Service Provider offering retail internet access nationally, along with a range of online and mobile content and value added services One of our major strengths in providing integrated telecommunications services is our vast geographical coverage through both our fixed and mobile network infrastructure. This network and systems infrastructure underpins the carriage and termination of the majority of Australia's domestic and international voice and data telephony traffic. Telstra has an extensive intellectual property portfolio, including trade mark and patent rights in Australian and overseas. Telstra is also a licensor and a licensee of intellectual property, including a licensee of online and digital content. The prior user exemptions to infringement under Australian and other countries’ (such as Japanese, EU and Canadian) law are important mechanisms that allow companies or individuals to continue activities legitimately undertaken prior to the grant of a third party patent. It’s Telstra’s submission that harmonisation of US laws to recognise and adopt similar prior user provisions would be welcomed to similarly provide certainty for commercial practices and investment. Our response below focuses on those aspects of the study into prior user rights that are of particular interest or concern to Telstra. 1a. Please share your experiences relating to the use of prior user rights in foreign jurisdictions including, but not limited to, members of the European Union and Japan, Canada, and Australia.

It is predominantly focused on the delivery of fixed voice handsets and voice calls over fixed line copper connections. The widespread deployment and use of mobile, data and broadband services now render it increasingly inappropriate. 1.2 Three decades after the genesis of the USO the industry is vastly different from that which existed in the late 1980s: (a) Whilst Telstra retains a dominant position in the market, especially in regional Australia, competitive forces and regulation ensure that customers have access to genuine choice in a way that was not possible in the 1980s.

  • Media Release
    Media Release Netspace business update NETSPACE REPORTS SUCCESS WITH NEW VOICE OFFERING (THIS WAS NEVER ISSUED) Melbourne, March x, 2007 - National Broadband ISP, Netspace, today announced a record start to 2007 with above average growth in broadband sales driven in part by a strong take up by consumers for the company’s full service voice offerings, particularly its bundled VoiP and broadband plans. In December 2006, Netspace officially launched Netspace Phone – a range of telephony services for consumers and small businesses. These included 10¢ flat rate VoIP calls to anywhere in Australia and 4.9¢ per minute VoIP calls to many International destinations as well attractive home phone and broadband bundles, and standard long distance and pre-paid calling card options. Ben Dunscombe, Regulatory Affairs Manager for Netspace said the launch of Netspace Phone has sparked a new phase of growth for the company by bringing to market an offering that’s attractive to customers who might otherwise just use a large carrier such as Telstra or Optus for all their communications needs. “The start of 2007 has been a strong period of growth for Netspace which we believe has been driven by our competitive and successful Voice campaign. Since December, more than x% of our home and small business broadband customers have signed up to our VoIP services and we have also seen a surge in new broadband customers signing on to our Home Phone/Broadband bundled deals,” said Dunscombe. Netspace Plots SMB Push Netspace plans to boost its position in the SMB communications market with the relaunch of Netspace Business Solutions set for quarter three this year.
