The trial services will be available from any Internode ADSL2+ enabled telephone exchanges nationally. Internode says it aims to launch a commercial service, Internode Ultra, in the first quarter of 2008. The company says it will choose trial participants to cover various connection modes that range from putting in a new line from scratch to using Naked DSL to replace a standard phone service or an ISDN service. Once Internode Ultra is launched, trial customers will be able to use the commercial service or have their trial service disconnected free of charge. Internode managing director, Simon Hackett, said he was particularly keen to hear from anyone rejected by Telstra. "One reason people can't get ADSL today is when Telstra reports 'Transmission Loss Too High'. We believe that Naked DSL can deliver broadband to people Telstra has rejected in the past for that reason. "We want this trial to prove that Naked DSL allows us to bypass Telstra's artificial distance limitation, which is imposed on all 'line sharing' based ADSL2+ services. By providing greater reach for current ADSL2+ services, Naked DSL has the potential to fill in many metropolitan black spots." |
