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.

Does anyone have any information about Annex M support (or potential) within New Zealand?
FYI - Annex M is a version of ADSL2+ that allows increased upload speed at the expense of decreased download speed. It is backwards compatible with existing Annex A equipment.
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. _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog
