Perth-based Internet service provider Westnet will next month start offering high-speed ADSL2+ broadband services, utilising the network of SingTel subsidiary Optus.
ISPs reselling Telstra's broadband services are concerned that the telco is about to start selling ADSL2 services directly to consumers without offering them as a wholesale product -- a move one provider said could be illegal.
Optus has launched its new ADSL2+ broadband network, offering speeds of up to 20Mbps -- 4Mbps short of what other providers claim is the limit of the technology.
The need to re-encode around 16 Terabytes of content into a streamlined format has delayed Movies Online's (MO) bid to stream movies over next-generation ADSL2 services.
Several of the nation's largest broadband sellers today said they had no intention of imitating competitor iiNet and suspending the sale of services to new customers in regional markets, although Telstra's wholesale pricing remains a worry.
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.
Alcatel-Lucent's optical network terminal (ONT) equipment was not considered suitable for an open access fibre deployment similar to the future NBN roll-out at a greenfield estate in Victoria, according to the project's builder.
Voice over IP has reached some major milestones in 2008 in both the enterprise and consumer ends of the market but how long can traditional telcos continue to fight against this disruptive technology?
