Vodafone has accused Telstra of “misleading customers” regarding its network coverage. As part of the allegations, Vodafone has written to the ACCC to investigate claims that Telstra overstated its network coverage by up to 40% over a 15-year period.
The explosive claims come after Vodafone recently doubled its network coverage in Australia as part of a network-sharing deal with Optus. Screenshots provided by Vodafone to the ACCC suggest that Telstra updated its website to remove mention of “3 million square kilometres”, a figure that was based on the use of an external antenna.
An ACCC investigation is supported by consumer advocacy groups like ACCAN, whose CEO Carol Bennett said in a media release that “misleading and deceptive conduct has no place in any market, let alone a market for an essential service.”
ABC News has the full rundown on the developing situation.
