Telstra announced yesterday new budget prices for its high-speed Internet services, beating out the fledgling Optus DSL a day before its launch.
South Australian Internet Service Provider Adam Internet has announced that it would invest AU$9.6 million into a private next generation broadband network in Australia, independent of Telstra's exchanges.
Protests over Telstra's new broadband deals continued as the Western Australian Internet Association (WAIA) expressed their outrage, saying Telstra has delivered a "devastating blow" to competition in the Internet industry.
Internet service provider TPG has revealed it's toying with offering users unbundled ADSL2+ without the need for a Telstra line.
Optus this morning announced a AU$150 million rollout of its own broadband Internet digital subscriber line (DSL) equipment to hundreds of exchanges around 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.
Post-election adrenaline surging through his veins, one of the first acts performed by new Communications Minister Stephen Conroy was to disband the expert panel that his predecessor Helen Coonan had appointed last June to evaluate tenders for fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) construction.
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.
Thirty or so years since the birth of the Internet, we seem to be at a technological standstill when it comes to access speeds and bandwidth. If it is meant to be a superhighway, why does it feel like a back road?

Australia's competition regulator has warned it will act to ensure technological innovations that pose a serious threat to Telstra's dominance of the telecommunications sector are not "strangled at birth".
If the world's homes are to enjoy the same high speed connectivity as its offices, the current thinking goes, then fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) will soon become necessary. However, not all Internet economies were created equal.

Recently I asked how many of you still use a telephone line to connect to the Internet. The result? Plenty of you still use the good old standby, the dial-up modem. That wasn't really a surprise, although from what you read in magazines and on Web sites you'd think everyone already had a broadband connection.
Modem manufacturer D-Link had been distributing one of its ADSL modems to some of Telstra's largest wholesale customers without the carrier's interoperability certification for around four months.
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.
