[plug] ArachNet sale to AmCom...

[Leon Brooks]

...is the ADSL and dialup business _only_, so apparently cusotmers 
(roughly 5000 ADSL and 5000 dialup) average out in value at something 
like $150 apiece.

This looks like good news in general for ArachNet dialup and ADSL 
customers, since AmCom has large ADSL resources and is about to DSLAM 
something like 20 new exchanges (http://www.amnet.com.au/dslam.aspx) of 
which 16 appear to be in WA. And I'm very pleased to note that one of 
those is Wanneroo, due in November. Since AFAICT I'm about 500m form 
the exchange, I should be able to get a 2Mb SHDSL link when that 
happens.

ArachNet will continue in the hosting business for the foreseeable 
future.

They're expected to release a joint statement later today or early 
tomorrow.

Cheers; Leon
