He has since told iTWire that, at present, Internode has DSLAMs in just two Tasmanian exchanges - Bathurst and Davey, both in Hobart - providing its Extreme (ADSL2+ over shared spectrum lines) service and is not immediately able to upgrade either of these to deliver Naked ADSL services (ADSL over unconditioned local loop lines). Internode has no ports available on either DSLAM and must also await an air-conditioning upgrade to the Davey exchange. "Bathurst should have more ports by the end of the month, Davey is awaiting an aircon upgrade at the exchange so that'll take a little longer," Kellet said. Kellet said DSLAM installations and the other exchanges would take place progressively over the next six months. He listed these as Bellerive, Devonport, Glenorchy, Howrah, Kingston, Launceston, Lindisfarne, New Town, Sandy Bay and St John and estimated these would give Internode access to about 75 percent of the population. He added that Internode's market share in Tasmania, as a percentage of all broadband customers, is, surprisingly, second only to that in its home state of South Australia.
