What kind of savings should we expect when these price changes come into effect on 01/01/2008.

None for ADSL1 from Telstra.

Maybe a reduction in activating a new ADSL2 service.

It's unlikely that the reduction of 70 cents for LSS will be passed on by the LSS networks.

I thought only iiNet were on such a low LSS rate. When did Powertel get the reduced rate? Or is it a bonus from their relationship?

Is there any news on ULL rates for those on Optus wholesaled ADSL2?

1) I can't comment, because I don't know, about the details of Powertel's pricing other than to say when the first major reduction occurred Powertel passed on that reduction to Exetel and, presumably, to their other customers - or some variation based on their various commercial relationships.

2) I've heard nothing about variations in ULL pricing changes.

From the comment made on the ACCC website about this change allowing for better competition, I thought there would be a bigger saving.

Most ADSL prices are around the same price though, so I guess most ISP have already had a ruling which reduces their LSS rate. Anyway, this final ruling from ACCC seems a bit of a non event then.

Maybe it will benefit those in Rural Australia?
