As of yesterday, customers on Internode's current home and small office plans will get download limit upgrades of between 15 to 37 percent at no extra charge.
Internode will deploy some AU$3.5 million of broadband infrastructure through rural South Australia in a new project responding to the needs of a regional group of local councils.
Internet service provider Internode has halted its regional broadband rollout due to an "unexpected and premature end" of the federal government's Broadband Connect Program.
Internode increased the price of its broadband Internet services on Monday, including several high-usage plans being hit with a AU$40 per month hike, and blamed increasing use of YouTube and BitTorrent for the changes.
Australian broadband provider Internode has launched an assault on the high speed internet market in the form of an excess-free, no-contract broadband deal for home users, for a start-up price of AU$29.95 per month with 500MB download allowance at speeds of 256Kbps.
Communications Minister Stephen Conroy has welcomed "improvements" in ISP filtering technologies, but will a broad-scale roll-out make ISPs a thief's favourite target?
Will Internode's (sudden) and dramatic price hike for its broadband plans undo the G9's plans for an affordable, high-speed broadband network?
South Australia's Yorke Peninsula with just 11,780 people spread across 5,834 square kilometres, is known more for its rugged natural beauty than its technological prowess. But now that Internode has brought broadband to the entire peninsula, the area has become a very important part of Australia's telegeography.
Sometimes, a well-placed and well-timed letter can make all the difference. Other times, it can make no difference at all and even hurt your case. This week's missive by the Competitive Carriers' Coalition, I would suggest, falls into the latter category.
For no particular reason that I can discern, a 1979 Kenny Rogers song popped into my head as I was considering the ever more complex morass that is the national broadband network tender which Senator Stephen Conroy defended in his CeBIT keynote speech.
Since last November when iiNet very loudly launched its naked DSL product, "naked" has been on everybody's lips, and it seemed like everybody was in on it. Some, however have held out. This round-up of 13 ISPs looks into who's got it, who doesn't and who wants to.
The federal government today confirmed plans to make only minor tweaks to telecomms regulations to accommodate Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and forecast only low mass-market takeup of the next-generation telephony technology for the next two-three years.
Voice over IP has reached some major milestones in 2008 in both the enterprise and consumer ends of the market but how long can traditional telcos continue to fight against this disruptive technology?
The broadband business -- plans, peaks, and penalties -- can be confusing to say the least. We line up some of Australia's best.
Reading over the results from the Australian Broadband Survey for 2004 confirms what many ZDNet Australia readers have written about over the past year: Telstra drastically needs to improve its BigPond service.
