WA based ISP iiNet has launched its naked DSL service today -- where customers can take broadband without an accompanying phone line -- the first of its kind to be made available on a large scale basis in Australia.
iiNet's investment in its own DSL broadband infrastructure looks set to pay off with the release of new plans including full phone service and huge speed increases.
Western Australian internet service provider iiNet took an extra 47,500 broadband customers over the past year, and also added over 67,000 naked DSL subscribers.
Broadband ISP iiNet is considering reselling mobile phone and mobile data services. The company also hopes to replace Optus as the second largest broadband player in Australia, according to Greg Bader, the company's chief technology officer.
Internet service provider iiNet has announced plans to roll out its own DSL broadband infrastructure covering approximately 11,000 ports across Australia.
How much should Telstra be charging for unconditioned local loop?
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.
While everyone was distracted by the NBN, a revolution was under way in the supply of fixed line broadband.
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.
Voice over IP has reached some major milestones in 2008 in both the enterprise and consumer ends of the market but how long can traditional telcos continue to fight against this disruptive technology?
One of the best things about Australia's number three broadband provider iiNet, is that the company is a disruptive influence on the market, according to its CTO Greg Bader.
The broadband business -- plans, peaks, and penalties -- can be confusing to say the least. We line up some of Australia's best.
