New 8mps plans appear
According to the whirlpool website, it appears that more and more ISPs are announcing they are offering ADSL speeds of up to 8Mbit/s after Telstra's announcement to open faster services to its competitors more than a month ago. The 8mb plans are the fastest available for ISPs on the older ADSL1 DSLAM infrastructure. But since TWI removed the speed caps of 1.5mbps, ISPs are scrambling to provide this service
The new port pricing includes a significant reduction in 1536/256 pricing and the introduction of a new 8192/384 speed.
ADSL has always been capable of 8Mbit, but Telstra chose to limit it to 1.5Mbit for commercial reasons, which many people have thought were questionable. Since the introduction of the new plans, the market has been flooded with all types of plans for lots of different types of users.
