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.
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 Netspace will follow competitors and start offering broadband customers a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service in the first half of 2006.
Australian Internet service provider Netspace has delayed the launch of ADSL2+ services until February.
Are ISPs without their own last-mile access infrastructure "vulnerable" in the current market or is their position rock solid?
When your broadband speeds are limited to 38Kbps it's not hard to join the ranks of people demanding the NBN already. Telstra's copper network is a renovator's delight.
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?
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.
When broadband providers offer packages that you think look to good to be true, you're rarely disappointed.
The obvious candidates for consolidation in Australia's telecommunications sector are the 170 internet service providers that are scratching to make a living, but others include Dodo, M8 Telecom, Macquarie Telecom and Eftel.
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.
Despite Communications Minister Stephen Conroy's assurances to the contrary, in my crystal ball I'm seeing a broadband price rise coming to millions of Australians once the National Broadband Network has been built.
2008 was a cracker year for telco in Australia, with so many huge events happening that those at the beginning of the year have been drowned by the importance of those at the end.
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.
An 802.11g wireless router with an integrated ADSL modem suitable for multiple PC homes and small offices.
Complacency by one Internet provider left them with a poor result in our tests but what if this wasn't a test?
NetComm Turbo 7 Series Wireless Gateway provides an easy set-up, good coverage and modest speed. While this system gives you the advantage of portable wireless gateway, wireless services are less reliable and cannot match ADSL2 speeds.
If you've got signal problems with existing wireless gear, then the WRT54GX is an excellent solution, but bear in mind it's not yet standards-based technology.
The broadband business -- plans, peaks, and penalties -- can be confusing to say the least. We line up some of Australia's best.
