About	Partner
	Superloop is an ASX-listed Australian telco founded in 2014 by Bevan Slattery. It owns metropolitan fibre networks nationwide and runs its own fixed wireless service in parts of Adelaide, alongside nbn plans everywhere. Now one of the bigger challengers to the major telcos, it also owns Exetel.	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.
