AusBBS

AusBBS (Australian Broadband Services Pty Limited) is an Internet service provider (ISP) offering Internet and phone services. It was one of the first ISPs to launch with a specific focus on Australia's National Broadband Network (NBN) which is being rolled out by the Federal Government via the fully owned NBN Co. Providers such as AusBBS have also been referred to as Retail Service Providers (RSPs) since the commencement of the NBN.

History

AusBBS was founded in 2012 by Internet entrepreneur Rob Appel, who previously founded Chaos.com, the first Australian retailer to sell music over the Internet. AusBBS has been cited as the first purely cloud-based ISP[1] and the first to offer unlimited NBN plans.[2] The company has been set up by a group of key ex-employees from OzEmail, which was the earliest major ISP to break through in Australia.
