Internode Pty. Ltd. is an Australian Internet service provider (ISP) that provides ADSL and NBN broadband Internet access, business-class access (Internode Business Connect), web hosting, co-location, Voice over IP, and a variety of related services.
The company was founded on 8 May 1991 by Managing Director Simon Hackett, Internode is based in Adelaide, South Australia (SA). The company's services are available nationwide through many means including:
Internode was the first ISP to offer ADSL2/2+ services in Australia, by installing their own DSLAMs in Telstra exchanges. This allowed them to offer access speeds of up to 24Mbit/s, significantly higher than the fastest speed then offered by Telstra at the time (1.5Mbit/s). (See also Broadband Internet Access, Australia)
Internode also provides a Naked ADSL2+ service, operating on both Agile and Optus hardware. This does not include a PSTN voice service, but also does not require line rental.
Internode is also a part of the Terria consortium which bid to build the National Broadband Network.
On 22 Dec 2011, Western Australian based internet service provider iiNet announced the acquisition of Internode in a deal worth $105 million (AUD). The two companies continue to manage two separate brands and operate separately.
In May 2012 it was announced that Simon Hackett's role would change from being the Managing Director of Internode to become a non executive board member for iiNet. At the same time several members of Internode's management team were transferred to management positions within iiNet.
