Optus launches naked DSL

Optus Gets Naked, Bundles DSL With Mobile Plans

Optus is offering naked DSL plans with 7GB of download quota at $59.99 per month or $49.99 when bundled with an Optus mobile plan, although these plans are for a “limited time”.

Naked DSL allows customers to access broadband without having to rent a traditional phone line, although it is often bundled with Voice over IP (VoIP) telephony, which runs over the broadband connection. ISPs such as Internode and iiNet were the first to offer the service in Australia, with iiNet adding 50,000 customers since the product’s launch in November 2007.
