Exetel is an Australian ISP which provides ADSL, web hosting, VoIP, and other internet services to customers across Australia. Exetel's headquarters are in offices in Sydney, and its switching centres are distributed in capital city secure data centre facilities around mainland Australia.

Exetel resells products from NBN Co, Telstra, Optus and AAPT. Many of the larger Australian ISPs have chosen to deploy their own infrastructure (including wireless) to provide faster and less expensive services than Telstra offers. Exetel does not deploy its own infrastructure outside of its own switching centres. Instead, it is a wholesale customer of Tier 1 wholesale telco providers who provide IP Transit, Inter-capital Transmission and various Residential and Business Grade Access Network products that Exetel integrate and manage for its customers.

History

Exetel began operating in the early 1990s as a technology consulting company, providing technical and management consulting services until December 2003. At that time the Exetel administration decided to become a service provider of data and telephone communications services.[1]

It began offering ADSL1 services in mid-February 2004, SHDSL corporate services in April 2004 and wireless broadband through Unwired in June 2004. Towards the end of 2004 Exetel added wire line telephony services using the Verizon network and mobile services using the Vodafone network. Exetel activated its own VoIP switches in March 2006 and began offering ADSL2+ services on 20 July 2006.

Exetel has PoPs in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Australian Capital Territory and Auckland.[2]

On 18 November 2007 Exetel was included in the Deloitte's Rising Star listings as one of the fastest growing 50 Australian technology companies with a cumulative growth of 159% in that two-year period.[3]

In June 2021 Superloop acquired Exetel for $110 million in cash and shares.[4][5]
