The take up of broadband services has reached nearly 2.2 million, according to the latest Australian Competition and Consumer Commission Snapshot of Broadband Deployment issued today.
"The report shows that as at the end of June 2005, there were 2,183,300 broadband services connected across Australia", ACCC Commissioner, Mr Ed Willett, said.
"As with the results of the previous quarter, this represents an increase of over 1 million customers, or 108 per cent, over the preceding 12-month period".
Total quarterly growth in broadband was 18.7 per cent for the June 2005 quarter. This is broadly in line with the March 2005 growth (18.8 per cent).
"The take up of ADSL services continues to be significant, with more than 1.5 million customers connected to ADSL services in the June 2005 quarter".
