About	Partner
	Tangerine is a fast-growing nbn and SIM-only mobile provider founded in 2013 by brothers Andrew and Richard Branson (no relation to Virgin's Sir Richard). Known for sharp pricing, no lock-in contracts and Australian-based support, it has been part-owned by Commonwealth Bank since 2021 and has won a string of budget-provider awards.	Pentanet is a Perth based ISP focused on Western Australia. Alongside nbn plans it runs its own fixed wireless network across the Perth metro area, which means addresses inside its footprint can sidestep FTTN copper entirely and pull faster speeds. Pentanet also offers Opticomm and 5G home internet. The brand has built a reputation locally for gamers and households after low latency.
