Telstra I don't believe have announced it as yet but all that is required is a Power Cycle (reboot) of your cable modem to update to the new configuration files

Cable (Base Plans)
Down: Will change from 36Mbps to 55Mbps
Up: Will change from 1Mbps to 5Mbsps

Cable (With Speed Boost)
Down: Will remain the same
Up: Will change from 2Mbps to 5Mbps

Speed above are approximated/average.

You can test your speed here

Enjoy

        @jv:

        No, its not.
        115 down / 5 up gives you total bandwidth of 120 Mbps.
        94 down / 37 up gives you total bandwidth of 131 Mbps.
        So HFC is faster.

        Anyway, the relative speeds are more meaningful (perceivable):
        Cable downloads are 22% faster than HFC.
        HFC uploads are 740% faster than cable.
        Its all about that upload…

        @Viper8:

        94 down / 37 up gives you total bandwidth of 131 Mbps.

        I use my 4G mobile for uploads and usually get around 20Mbps up

        so 115 + 20 = 135.

        @jv:

        You serious.

        OK then well I use my 4GX for uploads and usually get 60Mbps so 94 + 60 = 154 Mbps…

        Ridiculous.

        That's pretty awesome…

        I might need to upgrade my mobile.
