Just in via PC World Email. http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/358796/telstra_becomes_first_offer_hspa_42mbps/?fp=4&fpid=762455&eid=150 I had to laugh at the claims though. From 1 mbps to 40 mbps, that's a fair range, really. But to be fair, being a mobile service, there are dozens of factors that would influence ultimate top end speeds. I wonder how many phones are out there that'll do these sorts of speeds. Certainly, my HTC Desire is lucky to crack 900 kbps on a good day when I use it as a modem. As it's aimed at business users, it's probably also too costly for your average domestic consumer. And besides, for the plebs what's the point of such speeds when you're most likely on a low end data plan, where such speeds would suck your allowance dry quicker than you can say "Bit Torrent"... ;-]
