iphone 5s: who has the best deal in australia, page-5

VODAFONE Australia chief executive Bill Morrow says Telstra has "backed off" from threats to sue the telco competitor over claims Vodafone has the fastest 4G mobile network in the nation. The Australian previously revealed that Vodafone had been sent legal letters by Telstra demanding changes to a number of claims made about its 4G mobile services that Telstra believed were untrue.These include claims that Vodafone has faster 4G mobile broadband speeds in capital cities than Telstra and that Vodafone has passed 96 per cent of the population with its mobile services.Mr Morrow told ABC's Inside Business yesterday that the prospect of Telstra suing over claims made by Vodafone about the speed of its 4G network had now subsided."We can offer the fastest speeds with the current 4GLTE standard and that's faster than what Telstra or Optus can do across all five cities," he said. "When we put that announcement out there we were challenged by Telstra saying, 'wait a minute, we made a claim in Perth and Adelaide that we have the fastest speeds, so you can't say you're the first to bring these fastest speeds across Australia like we do'," Mr Morrow said."They've backed off and we're comfortable with where we are."Mr Morrow, who has been battling falling customer numbers at Vodafone, said he would like to see the Australian company receive its fair share of the pound stg. 6 billion ($10.2bn) the British-based telco had earmarked for investment in group operations.He also left the door open to the possibility of buying out its Australian partner, Hutchison, but said there were no plans for a full takeover - See more at: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/companies/telstra-wont-sue-vodafone-chief-says/story-fn91v9q3-1226724735647#sthash.je7qzZoJ.dpuf
