вЂњTelstraвЂ™s connectivity has proved crucial for Victorian students learning from home during COVID lockdowns and now theyвЂ™ll have access to high-speed broadband whether theyвЂ™re in classrooms in Melbourne or country Victoria,вЂќ Telstra Enterprise group executive David Burns said. It will also вЂњlay important groundworkвЂќ for further network upgrades, including 5G, according to Telstra. The upgrades will also provide access to faster speeds for the wider communities in the regions, including improved mobile data speeds and improvements for government agencies. Upgrades have already been rolled out to 700 of these schools. Telstra will be investing $40 million in capital works with a focus on bringing greater connectivity to schools in regional and rural areas. So, whether students are in Melbourne, Mildura, or Mallacoota theyвЂ™ll have the same connectivity.' The telco said in a statement that its goal is to 'provide equitable connectivity for all Victorian students as part of a Shared Bandwidth Bank. This approach means that students in the remotest areas should have the same minimum level of connectivity as those in city centres. This will mean an aggregated bandwidth of 870Gbps across these schools.

Under this agreement, schools will receive upgrades to between 40Mbps and 3Gbps of bandwidth, depending on enrolment numbers so that each student will have access to minimum internet speeds of 1Mbps while on campus.
