ISPs available in VIC
Major internet service providers operating in VIC include Aussie Broadband (founded in Morwell, VIC), Telstra, TPG, Superloop, Tangerine, Exetel, SpinTel, Optus, and many others.
All NBN retailers sell access to the same physical network, so the speed your connection can deliver is determined by your NBN technology type, not your ISP. The differences between ISPs are pricing, peak-hour congestion management, and customer support quality. The ACCC Measuring Broadband Australia report is the best independent source for comparing actual peak-hour speeds across providers.
