Telstra Cable (HFC) Internet - Unlimited possible?

teasatotalling on 02/09/2017 - 13:42

I have got unlimited Optus high speed cable (HFC) 100Mbps for $90/month & a truck has taken out the street cable.

Terrible service to fix

Telstra only show 1000GB on their website as maximum for cable

Anyone haggled to get unlimited?

    What on earth are you downloading to max out 1TB a month?

      Also another 600gb in another program.

      You speak as if 1TB is hard.

      Seriously? I guess you don't play games or watch TV and movies over the intertubes.

      If he is a gamer or likes to watch content online 1 terabyte is definitely doable.

      Example free 4 month YouTube Red trial account and download all the videos you want to watch legally for later so no buffering.

      Especially if you have many people under one household 3 people alone on YouTube can eat up data.

      Also PH RT SB E ML XV XH AND HH.

      Lol I'll let you figure out what those stand for.

    I'm confused … did Telstra lay down new cable or something?

    AFAIK unless your in "NBN HFC" (you can get service from any NBN provider via HFC) then you can only use Optus or Telstra's cable for their respective service.

    There's a 2Tb cap available but only as part of a bundle.

    General consensus is that Optus HFC is slower than Telstra HFC.

    I've not heard of anyone ever getting unlimited on Telstra HFC, and frankly, I hope they never offer it, as I like being able to get 100mbps down on Telstra HFC.

    If I really needed unlimited I would have unlimited ADSL for downloads and route everything else over HFC.

    Another dumb truck driver.
    These guys should be made to pay for such infrastructure damage.
    Happens all too often.
