Sydney-based ISP G-Node Networks is to resell Optus' ADSL2+ service to offer broadband Internet access at up to 20Mbps from more than 204 exchanges in NSW, Queensland, Western Australia, Victoria and South Australia.

Stephen Gillies G-Node Networks' commercial business manager said the company hoped to launch the service in mid May.

G-Node Networks says that it its sister business, systems integrator, Georjen Pty Ltd, had attempted unsuccessfully, for a number of months to gain access the Telstra ADSL2+ services currently only available to Telstra BigPond. "For our ADSL2+ offering we chose Optus, a provider with a clear wholesale strategy, strong roadmap for future expansion as well as an existing deployment in the areas our customers are located, not just where competitors are located" said Gillies.

G-Node Networks currently offers residential and business-grade Internet and private network connectivity, hosting and consulting.

Optus launched its wholesale ADSL2+ service in September 2006.
