Australian Broadband 98% Reliable
A study conducted by the ACA reveals that Australian Broadband is 98% reliable. Regional differences in DSL technology are minimal, but cable connections reported large variabilities, as expected. There is also a correlation between the high reliability and the low customer dissatisfaction recorded earlier in the year.
It’s nice that our connections are reliable, but it would be even better if our largest telco was busy rolling out ever faster connections. Companies such as iiNet and Internode, among others, are rolling out their own equipment to increase the bandwidth available to consumers, since Telstra isn’t offering speeds greater than 1.5mb/s for consumer grade broadband.
