In a statement issued this afternoon, the Singapore Telecommunications-owned unit said it was "challenging the market once again" and had driven its total number of broadband customers -- including those taken on in April -- above 550,000.
Warren Hardy, acting managing director for Optus Consumer, said he expected "an even more promising quarter ahead" thanks to the launch of an AU$19.95 per month broadband plan and 30-day trial offer.
The move comes as Optus migrates customers to its AU$150 million broadband network and comes a day ahead of the release of the unit's fourth quarter results.
