Optus cable customers on the MyHome Broadband Cable and Optus ‘yes’ Fusion Cable plans will receive a speed upgrade to 20Mbps.

Available only to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane residents, the service will make browsing, streaming music and video and using email that much quicker.

“This upgrade means that even customers in Brisbane on the Optus Cable network will now be able to access faster speeds than what has previously been available,” said Optus group marketing director, Michael Smith.

“Optus now offers the same speeds on both its Cable and DSL Direct service making broadband a simpler and faster internet option for customers.”

Customers will receive the upgrade free-of-charge and new and existing users will receive the faster speeds automatically.
