Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
National broadband company, Internode, today clarified comments that appeared in its announcement about broadband plan changes associated with this week’s launch of PIPE’s PPC-1 fibre-optic cable.
In yesterday’s announcement, Internode managing
director, Simon Hackett, was quoted as saying “we’re passing on the
PIPE benefits to customers by increasing download quotas across the
board”.
A spokesman for Internode said today the “across the board” reference
created confusion by giving the impression that every one of
Internode’s more than 170,000 customers would receive an equal quota
boost, which he said is not the case.
According to the spokesman, data quotas were increased in all
Internode’s plan categories – across the home, SOHO and business plan
tables - led by a boost to a 50-gigabyte quota for customers on the
Internode Easy Broadband Plan.
“However, data quotas were not increased for every single plan offered
by Internode. The largest increases in value have been offered in plans
that employ direct Internode ADSL2+ port infrastructure, where the
underlying cost regime can best benefit from international circuit
pricing improvements created by PPC-1,” the spokesman said, adding that
ADSL services offered using wholesale ports provided by other suppliers
(such as the Internode TwoPlus services) received smaller increases, or
in some cases no change at all.
“This is because there is no decrease in the very high fees charged by
wholesale suppliers for underlying ‘aggregated virtual circuit’ (AGVC)
data transmission to customer premises.”
Internode said it apologises for any misunderstanding created by yesterday’s statement.
