Broadband disruption for newsagents

July 21st, 2008 · 2 Comments

Some newsagents continue to face significant difficulties in trying to establish a new ADSL connection to their business in the wake of the collapse of the Broadband connection provided through the recently collapsed Bill Express.  There are reports of ISPs refusing to establish a new ADSL connection without the permission of the previous providor.  While some newsagents have been successful in jumping this hurdle, some have not, leaving their businesses without broadband access for the moment.

This is just another impact of the collapse of Bill Express on small businesses which can ill afford the business disruption.

    If the broadband is supplied by bill express it should be transferrable under the ADSL process as AAPT is there wholesaler who are on the transfer list.

    Our line went down last night as we were finishing up on paperwork.

    No big matter, we just fall back on our existing internet connection that we kept even after we had BillExp as we were not able to have 2 notebooks having unwired connections to its broadband access.
    so now I can save on my electricity and switch the whole billexp computer down.
