“Dual Carrier technology is not available as a commercial product yet and we have not made any representation that you can experience the speeds listed in this story. We expect devices to be available later this year. If you have a specific service issue you would like investigated you will need to give us your service details such as name, account number and specific area where you’re experiencing problems and we will follow it up.”

First off, I am also a Telstra employee so I will put this up to save my hide, just in case… Any comment I make is my own opinion. I am certainly not authorised to speak on behalf of the company.

Paul, I have a question, where exactly did you get those figures? I myself am a proud employee and also a loyal customer, and I have found that my BigPond has never failed me. My speeds run consistently at around 5 or 6 MBPS, where as according to your figures its slower that dial up which leads me to this last question, when and where were these speeds tested?

I occasionally find myself giving up on my NextG latop and jumping on my wife’s ADSL2 laptop because I get a message saying server is down or whatever (when it’s not!). The real problem seems to be lack of capacity. Coverage is one thing but without capacity the speeds will slow and eventually clog. Double zero is still zero. On the bright side this is an exciting technical advance and over time I expect we’ll build robustness into the network. On pricing: pitching Telstra as premium and elitist is a recipe for ruin. We should be able to offer a product that is so good with pricing so attractive it is irresistable to all customers. This doesn’t mean undercut everybody but I think a few people, probably DINKs and other high incomes, need to take a reality check on their definition of what is affordable to the average family.

First off the required disclaimer, I am a Telstra employee but any comment I make is my own opinion. I am certainly not authorised to speak on behalf of the company.

paul said “Unless the price comes down, Nextg wont ever come near other Carriers in affordabilty..”

Carriers must determine the market segments they wish to target compete for.
Telstra has chosen to provide a premium service with higher data speeds with broader and deeper coverage.
More bases and leading technology costs more to provide and so is priced accordingly.
In my opinion, there is not a lot of point buying the latest and greatest 3G technology if you are never in 3G coverage when you need it.
