Can't remember if this was posted to link already, but stumbled across it 
so here goes:

More than 3 million broadband services connected: ACCC
The take up of broadband services has passed three million connections, 
according to the latest Australian Competition and Consumer Commission 
Snapshot of Broadband Deployment issued today. "The report shows that as at 
the end of March 2006, there were 3,161,600 broadband services connected 
across Australia", ACCC Commissioner, Mr Ed Willett, said. This represents 
an increase of over one million customers, or 78 per cent, over the 
preceding 12-month period. Total quarterly growth in broadband was 13.5 per 
cent for the March quarter. This is marginally up from the December 2005 
growth (12.1 per cent). Mr Willett also said that "while the take up of 
ADSL services continues to outstrip other broadband technologies, an 
increasing number of customers have elected a wireless connection. Take up 
of other broadband technologies, including wireless, grew by 34 per cent in 
the quarter, albeit off a low base".
