IN BRIEF: Macquarie Telecom has extended its ADSL2+ network to over 250 exchanges.

Out of the exchanges, 100 will be based in Western Australia and Queensland - which Macquarie Telecom has said that they have been neglected by other telcos.

Macquarie operates exclusively in business and government markets, and the new service will have a theoretical download speed of 24Mbps and upload speeds of 1Mbps.
