Internet service provider (ISP) iiNet will invest a further AU$15 million into expanding its ADSL2+ network which should increase its coverage to 90 percent of metropolitan Australia, the ISP announced today.
The nation's third-largest Internet service provider has ended its protest over Telstra's wholesale ADSL prices and has started signing up customers in regional areas again.
Australia's third-largest ISP iiNet said yesterday that the government's $4.7 billion national broadband network was "doomed to be a monumental failure" despite the fact that iiNet itself is a member of Terria, a consortium bidding to build the network.
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.
