Telstra Bigpond, which last year blamed a series of lengthy email problems on virus-related increases in Internet traffic, says its systems are coping well with mass mailing virus MyDoom.
A series of planned exchange upgrades for ADSL across Sydney had an unexpected ripple effect yesterday, with Telstra customers in other NSW locations also cut off from Internet access.
Telstra has blamed an upgrade of "a core part" of BigPond's IP network as behind authentication problems that frustrated users across the eastern states this morning.
Sydney Water has spent AU$20 million on a workforce management IT upgrade for its engineers and service crews in the hope it will save several million dollars annually by reducing paperwork and increasing accuracy.
Following a scathing reproach over its regional services by National Party deputy leader Mark Vaile today, Telstra has announced an AU$42 million upgrade for its core transmission network in several remote NSW townships.
We've all experienced that irritating feeling upon walking into a nearly empty restaurant, only to see little 'reserved' signs on the empty tables, and to be told by the matre d' that no tables are available even as other people enter and are escorted to their tables.
Although 3G phones have been around for years, it appears the iPhone 3G has successfully rewritten the rules of competition in Australia's mobile sector whetting the nation's appetite for data.
A while back, frustration with my inability to get online outside of the office drove me to invest in a 3G data service from Hutchinson's 3. For $30 per month, I get 2GB of data that's accessible pretty much anywhere I go (I do all my work in metropolitan areas).
What a week it's been for mobiles.
With the OPEL bid cancelled and procedural questions dogging the FTTN bid, Australia is currently in something of a technological limbo.
Mobile broadband is taking a price dive this Christmas, with Vodafone and Optus trotting out low priced plans with high download quotas. But Telstra says its competitors' networks are too slow and offer limited coverage.
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.
When the government announced that Optus and Elders had won the bid to build Australia's bush broadband network, it provoked jeers and plaudits alike, but it was the ISPs' choice of WiMax as the bearer technology that has provoked the most furious storm of argument. Just how will the technology stand up to life in the bush?
As the place where all legislation governing New South Wales originates, NSW Parliament has more than your basic obligations when it comes to ensuring the security of its data. But how can a small government department, with just five network staff looking after a main office and network of 94 branch offices spread across the country, ever hope to keep up?
How can you tell if your business is ready for Voice over IP? Also, who are the leading IP handset providers and systems integrators in Australia?
Dubbed the "Country Phone" Telstra's F165 sure looks the part. A rugged, rubberised candy-bar form factor with an extendable external antenna masks powerful HSDPA connectivity.
Telstra has unveiled an upgrade to its Next G mobile high-speed data network that it claims has delivered download speeds of up to 2.3Mbps at a range of 200km.
Here's a dollop of irony: the best Windows Mobile smartphone has been created by Palm! A bevy of OS enhancements and access to Telstra's Next G mobile broadband network easily make it the best Windows Mobile device we've ever used.
High-speed mobile broadband has arrived! We compare Telstra's BigPond Wireless Next G service with Vodafone's HSDPA-enhanced 3G network.
Telstra's wireless CDMA 1x network is for Australian road warriors who don't mind paying big bucks for maximum mobility.
