Australia's creaking broadband network which ranks up their with Afghanistan in network speed has a bright future despite the best efforts of the current government and everyones favourite telco, Telstra's short sighted under investment in broadband infrastructure.
An Australian technowiz has worked out how to make copper networks run
An Australian researcher is on the road to riches after discovering a way to make broadband connections up to 100 times faster.
University of Melbourne research fellow Dr John Papandriopoulos is in the throes of moving to Silicon Valley after developing an algorithm to reduce the electromagnetic interference that slows down ADSL connections.
Most ADSL services around the world are effectively limited to speeds between 1 to 20Mbps, but if Dr Papandriopoulos's technology is successfully commercialised that speed ceiling would be closer to 100Mbps.
Very good news for Australian internet users if this technology can be commercialised.
