Internet infrastructure, for people who run their own.
This is a one-man network, run as craft for twenty-odd years. Telco-grade kit in a Sydney data centre, our own address space, and considerably more capacity than we currently sell. It is not a startup. There are no investors, no growth targets, no account managers, and no tickets about WordPress. Nobody is trying to exit. There is nothing to exit to.
It's built for operators and businesses — people who run their own networks, or should. Wholesale nbn, transit and layer-2, by arrangement. You deal directly with the person who runs the routers.
BUSINESS NBN — WHOLESALE, DONE PROPERLY
BY ARRANGEMENTnbn delivered the way operators and businesses actually want it: a static v4 and a v6 /56 on every tail, BYO router without an argument, and no CGNAT. Layer-2 to your LNS, or routed on our network. Priced to your footprint, not a plan page.
TRANSIT & L2 — FOR OPERATORS
BY ARRANGEMENTTransit seats and layer-2 handoffs for small operators and serious hobbyist ASNs, in-rack or via cross-connect. Talk to me about what you're announcing.
HOW TO GET IN
No signup form. Email nick@theitdept.au — or SMS / WhatsApp 0448 379 418 — and tell me what you run. If it fits, you're in. If it doesn't, I'll probably still answer your networking question, because I can't help myself.
* nothing here is a plan page — tell me your footprint and you'll get a real number.
pay by card or bitcoin (on-chain / lightning) — invoices in AUD either way.
