Next G Turbo 21 launches in store

March 25, 2009:Claimed to be the the world’s fastest mobile broadband device, with typical download speeds ranging from 550kbps to 8Mbps, Telstra's Next G Turbo 21 Modem is now available on business plans at Telstra shops and dealers.

The launch in Telstra’s retail outlets follows the roll out of the device to several thousand Telstra business customers last month. One customer who trialled the new device is John Nayler who runs an online information business, ChannelWhitsunday.com from his yacht off the north Queensland coast.

“I was able to load a video onto the internet in minutes while driving north of Rockhampton,” Mr Nayler said. “The combination of coverage, speed and ability to process many things at once while on the move is invaluable to my business.”

Telstra will also this week be making available a new Telstra information service to help customers understand the various broadband technologies offered by Telstra, how they differ and the typical Internet speeds customers will experience under various circumstances. The new service will be available under the ‘Internet’ tab on www.telstra.com.
