About
	Dodo is a long-standing budget broadband brand and one of the Vocus group's consumer labels. It sells no-frills nbn plans, often bundled with energy, and competes mainly on price.	Lightning Broadband runs its own fixed wireless and private fibre network across Melbourne, with plans up to 1000 Mbps for addresses inside the Lightning footprint. It sits alongside the nbn rather than reselling it, so customers in covered buildings get to bypass the FTTN/FTTB copper that would otherwise cap their speeds. Lightning is small and Melbourne specific but useful for residents of apartment blocks where its network is already wired in.
