Internet service provider Internode today launched a new type of naked ADSL2+ service, using its own equipment at telephone exchanges to increase the range of its fast broadband.
Within two months, Internode will tackle customers who have previously sat in ADSL black spots, by offering its new naked service up to seven kilometres from its own exchange network.
In its regulatory submission this week, Telstra says the new national fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) roll-out should not have to interface with current network technologies such as the copper ADSL2+ network, because of impacts on performance.
ISP Internode has announced a AU$9 million plan to install its ADSL2+ kit in 64 exchanges.
Internet service provider Internode will re-commence selling subsidised broadband services to rural areas where Telstra has ADSL infrastructure, under the federal government's AU$878 million Broadband Connect (BC) scheme.
