Research and Markets: This Report Overviews The Major Fixed Broadband Services Providers in Australia

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/b6cf71/australia_broadb)
has announced the addition of the "Australia - Broadband - Network
Operators and Wholesalers" report to their offering.

   Networks are based on fibre-optic backbones. From here the
strategy differs. Both HFC (cable TV) networks and copper-based cable
(DSL) are used. Depending on how deep the fibre optic cable is
deployed, higher speeds are offered. Network upgrades over the next
decade will eventually lead to fibre supplying clusters of around 50
to 200 houses and from that time onwards full fibre to the home will
take over. Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) wholesalers (other than
Telstra) and their over 500 retail Broadband Service Providers (BSPs)
are supplying 55% of the DSL broadband. The report includes: Telstra,
Optus, Nextep Broadband, AAPT and PowerTel, Netspace, Commander,
iiNet, Primus, Soul, People Telecom, Internode, Amcom, Neighbourhood
Cable, Chariot and TPG. VDSL operators including TransACT and EFTel
are also included.
