Introducing the new Telstra Turbo 7 Series Card

Telstra's Turbo 7 Series Card gives you the freedom to take your office with
you - to more places than any other network. It is built for businesses that
need fast broadband access on the go. You can send e-mails, process quotes
or access websites at supercharged mobile broadband speeds, never before
experienced in Australia.

When you supercharge your laptop with a Telstra Turbo 7 Series card, you'll
experience coverage 100 times greater than other providers with the Telstra
Next GT network.

There is another key difference with Telstra Turbo 7 Series in comparison
with other mobile broadband services: It not only allows you to download
data at blistering speeds, but it also lets you upload data at a phenomenal
rate.

In fact, with the Telstra Turbo 7 Series, 7.2Mbps download rated devices
will experience typical download speeds of 550 kbps to 3 Mbps, bursting up
to 6Mbps in CBD, metro and selected regional areas.

This means you can download a:

 a.. 3MB slide presentation in 14 seconds
 b.. 30sec 1MB MP3 video clip in 5 seconds
Users of 1.9Mbps upload rated devices will experience typical upload speeds
of 300kbps to 1Mbps, bursting up to 1.3Mbps.

This means you can upload a:

 a.. 2MB sales report in 30 seconds - that's over 3 times the previous
upload speed performance range
 b.. 200KB e-mail in 5 seconds
 c.. 30sec 1MB MP3 video clip in 16 seconds
The Telstra Turbo 7 Series devices support:

 a.. Microsoft Windows 2000
 b.. Microsoft Windows XP compatible
 c.. Microsoft Vista 32 bit and 64 bit drivers
 d.. Mac OS X 10.4 or later

Best of all, to celebrate the launch of their new HSUPA (High Speed Uplink
Packet Access) mobile broadband devices, the Telstra Turbo 7 Series, Telstra
is offering DOUBLE their normal data allowance on $59, $89 and $119 Data
Pack Plans for the first 3 months of your contract4.

That's not fair. They've reduced their charges.

Now it's only twenty thousand dollars a gigabyte!

And about 1000 times more expensive than ADSL on Bigpond, Optus or Dodo
Other providers offer this for free.

>  b.. 200KB e-mail in 5 seconds

For 40c. Cheaper just to call them instead.

>  c.. 30sec 1MB MP3 video clip in 16 seconds

For $2

$45, more like! I just got my phone bill the other day - 2.8MB cost
me $42.90! Although $5 of that is included in my plan. I don't know what
they think you can do for $5. Accidentally connect to the bigpond site a
couple of times for a few seconds, maybe - when you accidentally press
the wrong button.

Send to bill to 'Alan Parkington' c/o Telstra - he thinks the charges are
cheap so let him pay.
