Telstra today announced they are expanding their super fast 4G network from covering 40% of the population, up to 66% with wider coverage in the key metro cities.

In announcing the expansion, EFTM took note of an important statistic which shows that men are the fastest to embrace 4G, accounting for 56% of Telstras 4G smartphone base. We do love speed, and we love new technology, so no breaking news there!
