Actually, the original report stated US$130M was "a ~4,600km submarine cable system linking Australia to Singapore providing a 100GB/s high speed internet connection from Western Australia to South East Asia"
Its now "The ASC project is a ~4,600km submarine cable system linking Australia to Singapore, and Indonesia, with a system design providing a minimum of 40Tbps of capacity from Western Australia to South East Asia, with this capacity forecast to expand via technology advancements over the coming years"
So its gone from 100 GB/s to 40 TB/s at 20% more cost, also the XT commercial agreement in indonesia might help them utilise the capacity quicker that expected.
