Telstra declares having a network speed of 21Mbps

Creating a world record of sorts, the Telstra has announced a network speed of 21Mbps. The consumers will be able to avail the feature from the next month the USB modem arrives in the market.

Creating a Guinness world record the Telstra has announced a network speed of 21Mbps. The announcement came last night at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. In the congress, it was announced that the Telstra Next G network had been declared the fastest national mobile broadband network in the entire world. The announcement further told that the Guinness World Records had conferred the status to the company with a lightening speed of 21Mbps. At the, Mr. Sol Trujillo, the CEO of Telstra, unveiled the Turbo 21 modem. This is reportedly the first commercial modem which will enable 21Mbps peak rated mobile broadband speed as well as connect to the Telstra Next G network. While connecting the Telstra Next G, the speed will be four times faster than those available from some of the best Australian telecommunications companies. It has been pointed out by various reports that the 21Mbps speeds were achieved while connecting HSPA and technology. However, there are reports that the fine print suggests that actual speed for users will be less than what has been claimed. As a result of this achievement, the customers of Telstra will reportedly enjoy benefits such as increased download speed ranging from 550 Kbps to 8 Mbps. If some detailed reports are to be followed even faster speed than this one might be just around the corner. Speaking on the matter, Mr. Michael Rocca, the Managing Director, Telstra Networks and Services Group, reportedly stated that later this year, Australians would experience peak network while the downlink speeds will get increased even further to 42 Mbps on some parts of the Telstra Next G network.
