nternet service provider Amcom Telecommunications yesterday announced its deployment of broadband Internet-enabling equipment in exchanges in Perth and Adelaide would allow it to deliver ADSL2+ services to subscribers.
Telstra has officially switched on over 900 ADSL2+ exchanges, amid allegations of spin by the telco over its decision to back down on the issue of regulation.
Internet service provider Netspace will follow competitors and start offering broadband customers a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service in the first half of 2006.
Several of Australia's largest ISPs are saying that Telstra could give up to 8Mbit/s ADSL speeds to broadband consumers right now, and could have 5 years ago when ADSL was first introduced. But Telstra says there's no demand for higher speeds.
Internet service provider (ISP) iiNet will invest a further AU$15 million into expanding its ADSL2+ network which should increase its coverage to 90 percent of metropolitan Australia, the ISP announced today.
Next week the government will announce the winning bidder for the build of the National Broadband Network. The announcement is expected when Kevin Rudd returns from the G20 in London.
Is Hackett the Saruman the once-good wizard who is seduced by the dark powers of Sauron of my recent Lord of the Rings scenario? Is something rotten in Renmark and elsewhere?
If there was ever evidence that the stoush over broadband had gotten personal, it came when Telstra's sour-grapes mentality led it to sue Helen Coonan, personally, for claimed procedural flaws in the OPEL contract.
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. As long as they're busy, he's making money. If he finds enough new business to keep them all going for two weeks, he can take off for Hawaii -- and still be making money.
Telstra's 21Mbps Next-G boost and Internode's new 100Mbps FttH networks may be both companies' show ponies, but when it comes to helping most of us, their need-for-speed posturing is just a box-and-dice distraction that we've all seen before.
NEC's business-grade broadband wholesale division, NEXTEP, is tooling up its national network to provide Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services, with a wireless offering also on the horizon.
The Australian Labor Party's ICT shadow minister wants a national fibre broadband network and enough skilled people to exploit it.
The proposed buyout of Pipe Networks by SP Telemedia is an absolute travesty for Australia's telecommunications industry and will be overwhelmingly negative for customers, Pipe Networks staff, shareholders and the industry as a whole.
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.
The broadband business -- plans, peaks, and penalties -- can be confusing to say the least. We line up some of Australia's best.
