About
	Kogan Internet is the broadband arm of online retailer Kogan.com, reselling nbn plans with Kogan's trademark value pricing. It suits bargain-hunters already in the Kogan ecosystem.	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.
