Internet service provider Exetel has blamed its upstream bandwidth provider Optus for network issues that have left around 3,000 ADSL broadband users in NSW stranded with slow speeds over the past few weeks.
Telstra's BigPond ADSL service has had problems again this weekend, with users experiencing data flow difficulties and trouble browsing international Web sites.
Second tier telco PowerTel is hoping to significantly increase its broadband subscriber base over the coming 18 months by spending almost AU$10 million expanding its network infrastructure.
Austar will target communities like Broken Hill, which are generally underserviced by ADSL providers, during its regional rollout of wireless broadband, the company said today.
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.
