Telstra customers shouldn't be paying steep premiums to access the telecom giant's network, according to consumer advocacy group Choice.
Australia's biggest telecom operator, Telstra, is under fire over its mobile and internet prices, with consumer advocacy group Choice saying its customers are paying too much.
Choice looked at 53 Telstra contracts and found consumers are paying hefty premiums to access the telco's network, which has been hit by seven outages since February.
On one of the 53 plans, customers were paying up to a 92 per cent price premium for Telstra's ADSL 'Large Broadband' plan compared to a no-frills TPG Telecom plan.
Telstra's $115 'Large Broadband' plan includes a 1000 gigabyte data limit, plus double monthly data for three months a year. Calls are charged separately with $203 upfront costs on a 24 month contract. TPG's $59.99 'Basic Bundle' plan has no data limit, calls are charged separately, with $99.95 upfront costs on a 24 month contact.
