AUSTRALIANS anxious to stay connected on the road have for the first time pushed wireless ahead of copper as the most common form of broadband used in Australia.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics internet activity report for the six months to June has revealed that the number of consumers using some form of wireless service for their broadband, excluding mobile handsets, has surpassed the number using copper line ADSL for the first time.

An ABS spokesman said the report, sourced from the bureau’s biannual survey of Australia’s ISPs, defined mobile broadband wireless connections delivered through USB dongles and data cards as well as connections to tablet devices.

Overall, the number of Australians using some form of fixed-line service for their broadband connection remained just ahead of wireless once cable services were included.

The ABS found that growth in the ADSL market had almost flatlined, with the number of Australians using ADSL connections for their broadband reaching 4.49 million subscribers as at June up just 0.8 per cent in six months.

The number of mobile wireless internet connections increased 13 per cent over the same period to reach 4.78m subscribers.

Ovum senior communications analyst David Kennedy said the increase in wireless broadband connections was primarily due to demand from subscribers who already had a fixed-line service looking for an additional mobile connection to use away from home.

“This doesn’t seem to be preventing fixed-line services from growing. There are lots of people connecting both fixed and wireless. We’re talking here mainly about USB dongles, embedded chips, and there would also be a bit of machine-to-machine (such as internet-connected vending machines) in this, but that would still be quite small,” Mr Kennedy said.

By embedded chips Mr Kennedy was referring to the circuitry built into tablet computers like the iPad to accept a mobile wireless broadband SIM card.

“The embedded chip numbers would certainly be increasing at the moment,” he said.

The total number of broadband subscribers grew 6.1 per cent to reach 10.34 million.

The ABS reported 881,000 subscribers used some form of cable service. The number on fibre broadband reached 31,000, including early NBN subscribers and those living in fibre-based greenfield developments.
