Indeed. They’ve just decided not to roll out the upgrades (which are available) out to their DSLAM’s.... or knowing Telstra, have, and aren’t activating it.

Anyone else apart from Agile (Internode) rolled it out in Australia?

To clarify, Telstra's decision isn't related to their local loop (as was being referred to below), but just to their DSLAMs.

Annex-M is allowed on the Telstra local loop, and is being done by a number of ISPs already.

Apparently Telstra in Australia has chosen not to roll out Annex M in favour of doing VDSL later. Optus did announce that they were rolling out Annex-M, but may have changed their mind on that one.

To my knowledge[1] there are no Annex M offerings in NZ to date. I
believe that the UCLL Spectrum Management Plan needs to be finalised and
agreed before operators can offer anything other than classical ADSL1
and ADSL2plus services that exist on the network today. This includes
Annex M and VDSL/VDSL2.

Obviously this only applies to the Telecom/Chorus local loop - those
that own their own loops are free to do whatever they want, and in the
case of TelstraClear this has meant deploying VDSL2 services.

aj
[1] It's not that great, and it may have snuck past me. However I
looked at Annex M a few months ago and nobody was offering it, or
particularly planning to.
