WhistleOut helps 7News highlight how Australian telecommunications providers are assisting Australians facing financial hardship due to the impact of the coronavirus

Self-isolation and working from home is the new norm for many of us. Homeschooling schooling, likewise.

With so many of us now restricted to quarters, there is increased dependence on our mobile and home internet services to keep us connected.

Whether it’s videoconferencing for work, online studies for students, or streaming movies for leisure time, the pressure is on our telco providers to ensure we keep our kids learning and we can get our work done.

Thankfully, our telcos are recognising our need to remain connected during this difficult period and many of them have started providing assistance packages to help keep users up and running.

Below is an update on what some of the larger telecommunications providers are doing to help their users.
