Our mission
We aim to provide regional Australians, who live beyond the scope of fibre broadband networks commonly available in metro areas, with access to the best possible rural internet connection, service speeds, customer experience and data allowances.
We believe that with specialism comes focus and that by exiting the metro nbn® rollout back in 2018, we’re now best placed to help more regional homes stay connected to friends and family than any other provider.

Our regional story, so far…

We were selected as a Suncoast Broadband Preferred Supplier for Wireless Broadband services in selected blackspots of the Noosa, Maroochy and Caloundra Shires.
2007
