Despite the rush by other providers to start selling so-called naked DSL, where broadband is sold without a phone line, the nation's third largest telco AAPT today said it would continue to hold back on the grounds that the product has been priced too low.
AOL|7 will launch its Australian ADSL broadband offering tomorrow, joining some Channel 7 content with some AOL Time Warner content in an attempt to entice customers to its service.
AAPT has revealed that it will start selling Internet connectivity without the need for a phone connection before the end of the year.
A decision by embattled telco AAPT to invest in its own ADSL network would be "high-risk" and could make the business less attractive to suitors in the event of a sale, according to telecommunications research firm Ovum.
Australia's largest telecommunications companies are considering developing a code of practice governing consumers' switching between DSL broadband service providers. The move comes amid claims Telstra is imposing barriers to consumers wishing to switch away from its retail DSL broadband offering.
Since last November when iiNet very loudly launched its naked DSL product, "naked" has been on everybody's lips, and it seemed like everybody was in on it. Some, however have held out. This round-up of 13 ISPs looks into who's got it, who doesn't and who wants to.
Running a virtual private network can save you money on leased lines, but can also create a lot of work. Can managed VPN services save you the trouble?
