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.
Pacific Internet has released a Premium Business DSL plan with a 99.9 percent service level agreement-but you have to pay for it.
Interest in Voice over Internet Protocol technology has reached fever pitch amongst Australian businesses, an Optus survey claims, but competing research by Pacific Internet suggests otherwise.
Australian businesses will have greater broadband choice from June 2002, following an agreement signed by Pacific Internet and NEC Australia.
Verizon Communications will soon become the second Baby Bell in the United States to offer broadband to consumers regardless of whether or not those customers also buy its local phone service.
Streaker Robert Ogilvie may have learned the hard way that getting naked can be painful, but many other Australians are apparently learning the same lesson as they try to break ties with Telstra once and for all.
Consider this scenario: DSL, ISDN, and cable aren't available. Dedicated lines are too pricey. Wireless is limited to line-of-sight. If your company needs broadband, you have another option: satellite.
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.
Thirty or so years since the birth of the Internet, we seem to be at a technological standstill when it comes to access speeds and bandwidth. If it is meant to be a superhighway, why does it feel like a back road?
Today's broadband could be relegated to slowcoach status as next-generation chips get ready to rumble - but only for townies.
Distributed companies increasingly use VPN connections to access and share information. We test ADSL firewall routers that are designed for this purpose.
Billion's myGuard 7500GL is an excellent wireless ADSL router for SOHO users. Its security features include QoS control, VPN access, a firewall and Trend Micro services.
Thousands of SMEs are expected to move to DSL broadband by the end of the year. ZDNet Australia examines the industry and shows how to navigate this competitive and confusing market.
For Australia's remote rural web users, relying on a dial-up modem has meant that video technology is still a long way off.
Modem manufacturer D-Link had been distributing one of its ADSL modems to some of Telstra's largest wholesale customers without the carrier's interoperability certification for around four months.
Telstra Country Wide has announced a AU$231 million investment in 2003/04 to improve services to regional areas.
