5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
DSL continued to be the dominant access technology used for non dial-up subscribers accounting for 3.36 million or almost 78 percent of total non dial-up subscribers. Connections with download speeds of 1.5Mbps or greater increased by 43 percent in March 2007 to 1.56 million, compared to 1.09 million subscribers at the end of September 2006. During the quarter a total of 42,000 terabytes of data were downloaded, a 21 percent increase on the September quarter figure of 34,700 terabytes. The ABS gathers data only from the 32 ISPs with over 10,000 active subscribers and notes that growth from September 2006 to March 2007 could be due to the movement of subscribers from smaller ISPs (or presumably to small ISPs being acquired by large ISPs).{moscomment} |
