Broadband Connect Program Guidelines
3.2.2.1 Premises with access to Telstra ADSL services
Premises in the Broadband Connect Area that had access to a Telstra ADSL service (whether or not in fact connected) at the start of HiBIS on 8 April 2004 are considered to have access to a Metro-comparable Service, and are not Eligible Premises. An indicative map of Telstra's ADSL coverage at 8 April 2004 is provided on the Broadband Connect website. Providers and Customers should refer to the website to assist in determining the availability of an ADSL Service.
This map shows ESAs that were enabled to provide ADSL services at 8 April 2004. Not all Premises within these ESAs were able to access ADSL services at that time, because of distance and other technological limitations. Such Premises are Eligible Premises, as discussed in more detail in sections 3.2.5 and 3.2.6.
3.2.2 Ongoing Eligibility of Premises
Unless otherwise explicitly provided for in these Guidelines (including under the Imminent Access arrangements), Premises that were eligible to receive a HiBIS Service at the start of HiBIS on 8 April 2004 remain eligible to receive a Broadband Connect Service from any Broadband Connect Provider servicing their area. This applies even if a Service Provider is able to offer them a Metro-comparable Service or a service with Broadband Connect-compliant Pricing, independent of Broadband Connect support.
The following Telstra exchanges have been ADSL enabled since the commencement of HiBIS . Premises within these exchange service areas able to receive ADSL as a direct result of these enablements are still eligible for Broadband Connect, subject to meeting all other eligibility requirements.
