Internet service provider Internode today said it had resumed selling high-speed ADSL2+ services in Tasmania, due to the imminent prospect of BassLink switching on its cable back to the mainland.
The Basslink fibre-optic cable linking the mainland to Tasmania is technically live, but hasn't yet carried one of its first major customer's traffic across Bass Strait.
Internode will spend $10 million upgrading its ADSL2+ infrastructure in a move that will primarily benefit Victorian and Tasmanian customers.
Internet service provider Netspace today announced the activation of 10 DSLAMs (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) in Tasmania.
ISP Internode has signed on to buy Basslink services to Tasmania, despite the company acknowledging today that more problems had again delayed the date on which the fibre-optic cable from the mainland would become operational.
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.
