Primus Telecom has revealed, through its US parent's third quarter results announcement, that it now has over 115,000 DSL customers in Australia, 40,000 of them on its own DSLAMs.

The company says it is on target to exceed its previously stated goal of 120,000 DSL customers by the end of 2005. It claims that most of these sign a two-year contract and that approximately 70 percent of them also take a bundled local and long distance voice package and generate, on average, revenue in excess of $90 per month.

It claims to have installed 134 DSLAMs and to have another 21 installations in progress.
