Migrating to Unbundled Local Loop services (ULL) such as ‘Naked DSL’ products from Line Sharing services should only take a maximum of three hours says the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission after reviewing Telephone Exchange capping. This is only one of the new guidelines expected to be overhauled for the upcoming NBN regulatory framework.
The ACCC has recently acted upon mountaing complaints from Telstra’s rival Telecommunication Providers who argue that Telco is blatantly lying about the number of ports available at their ADSL Exchanges. Installing DSLAM equipment and DSL infrastructure at the ADSL Exchanges has also been a nightmare for frustrated ISP’s, especially after waiting in line for months (sometimes over a year) to be told by Telstra that the Exchange has been declared full.
If the NBN is to succeed for the public and provider alike, all Australian ADSL Exchanges will need to be facilitated through regulatory rules. This way every Broadband Provider and Broadband user can be guranteed a fair and prosperous Broadband Industry for all.
