The competition watchdog has rejected Telstra's proposed charges for connecting and disconnecting broadband internet companies' access to its basic copper wire.
Telstra had proposed a connection charge of $90 and disconnection charge of $90 for its line sharing service (LSS).
The LSS provides access to part of the basic copper wire of Telstra's network, allowing competing carriers to provide their own broadband services to end-users while Telstra continues to provide voice services.
"The ACCC's final decision is to reject Telstra's connection and disconnection undertaking for the LSS", ACCC chairman Graeme Samuel said in a statement.
"The ACCC is of the view that Telstra's proposed connection and disconnection charges are not reasonable".
The ACCC said the charges were well above what was appropriate for the service and the separate disconnection fee should be levied in some cases.
