Background

Each year Australian households and business continue to consume more data and require higher bandwidth from their Internet Service Provider (ISP). The insatiable demand for data and bandwidth has been compounded during the pandemic with a greater uptake in hybrid work / education models and more and more HD streaming and online gaming services available. It is now common place to have several simultaneous connections to one or more of these services within a household or business.

For many years, Australians have had little choice in which ISP provider they use. The market has been traditionally dominated by the “Big Telcos” offering NBN and limited fixed cable connections.
