Telstra's launch today of uncapped ADSL1 and ADSL2+ services has spurred a revamp of the telco's small to medium business (SMB) broadband packages.
NEC Australia's NEXTEP DSL wholesale division will speed up the ongoing upgrade of its broadband infrastructure to the ADSL2+ standard as part of an access agreement announced today with Internet service provider People Telecom.
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.
Telstra has signed Agile Communications to its newly priced wholesale ADSL offering, which the telecoms player claims is about 30 percent cheaper.
A guy I know runs a tiling business, which as far as I can see involves his drinking lots of coffee, making lots of phone calls, and making sure that around a dozen different tilers do the actual hard work.
