Internet service provider iiNet has announced plans to roll out DSLAMs into an additional 111 exchanges, of which 86 will be in Sydney. And competitor Netspace has just released a whole new range of unlimited plans.
Internet service provider iiNet is on track to boost its market share of fixed broadband customers by installing its network infrastructure into eight new regional communities.
Australia's telcos have not stopped rolling out broadband infrastructure such as ADSL Multiplexer (DSLAM) hardware in exchanges, despite the Federal Government's $43 billion National Broadband Network plans.
Telco iiNet has started rolling out voice hardware known as MSANs into telephone exchanges, allowing it to supply its own fixed-line telephony services directly to customers.

From dead parrots to ACCC lawsuits, the National Broadband Network and Fake Stephen Conroy, it's like Telstra is lost in T.S. Eliot's epic poem The Wasteland.
