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.
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.
An Internet association in Western Australia claims that the number of new accounts for Internet service providers has dropped as a result of Telstra's broadband price cut in February.
A number of smaller ISPs have joined the broadband price war which flared last week between Telstra and Optus.
Australia's third-largest internet service provider iiNet today said it had signed up more than 30,000 local customers to its naked DSL service and more than 80,000 to its internet telephony offering.
How much should Telstra be charging for unconditioned local loop?
iiNet CEO Michael Malone talks about how successful the ISP's naked DSL service has been since it was launched in December.
