Telstra Corporation Ltd has released a series of new broadband plans as the telco aims to sharpen its offerings in the ultra competitive sector.

Telstra chief executive David Thodey had flagged the changes at a company investor day in October.

A range of new broadband plans will offer customers faster speeds and higher data allowances for the same price, while excess usage fees have been removed on most plans, acting group manager of Telstra's consumer business Glenice Maclellan said.

New plans from December 1 will see 10 times the data allowance on Telstra's entry level plan and new high usage plans of 100 and 200 gigabytes.

A range of bundled packages will also be offered to deliver broadband, home phone and Foxtel on a single bill, Ms Maclellan said in a statement on Thursday.

Telstra's most recent annual results showed a drop in fixed broadband takeup, but its wireless broadband revenue grew by 69.2 per cent to $587 million.
