The ACCC are seeking advice on how best to test future BB performances .. they are currently thinking probes ..
http://transition.accc.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/1122243 "Broadband performance monitoring and reporting program" On 14 August 2013 the ACCC released a consultation paper inviting comment on a potential program for monitoring and reporting broadband performance in Australia. The proposed program would test data transfer rates (or 'speeds') and other indicators of broadband service quality experienced by a representative sample of consumers in real world conditions. The results of the testing would be made periodically available to consumers and service providers. The ACCC considers that the proposed program would provide significant benefits for both providers and consumers of broadband services in Australia. Information on the real-world performance of broadband services would enable consumers to choose the right service for their needs. It would also allow service providers to compare their services against competitors and market their products in a way which reflects investments in infrastructure and capacity. Written submissions to the consultation paper should be provided no later than 5.00pm on 13 September 2013. The consultation paper on the proposed program can be found below. * Consultation paper on the broadband performance monitoring and reporting program.DOC (365.0 KB) * Consultation paper on the broadband performance monitoring and reporting program.pdf (410.1 KB) -- Cheers, Stephen Message sent using MelbPC WebMail Server _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
