A number of smaller ISPs have joined the broadband price war which flared last week between Telstra and Optus.
Australian Internet service provider, OzEmail, claims its newest start-up broadband deal is designed to eliminate "broadband bill-shock".
With over a third of Australian homes connected to the Internet, and millions more accessing the Web via work connections, the relative performance of different ISPs is now a regular topic of conversation even in non-techie circles. ZDNet Australia reports on the state of play in the local ISP industry and evaluates the major players' offerings.
A strong demand for peering services between ISPs has seen Internet peering facilitator PIPE Networks expand its Brisbane operations into four additional Australian cities.
Australia's largest telecommunications companies are considering developing a code of practice governing consumers' switching between DSL broadband service providers. The move comes amid claims Telstra is imposing barriers to consumers wishing to switch away from its retail DSL broadband offering.
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.
