Opticomm is one of Australia’s largest private-owned alternative to the national broadband network (nbn). Opticomm is an ASX-listed company that, similar to nbn, build, operate and maintain their own telecommunications ‘fixed line’ fibre-optic network. Opticomm are wholesale operators, meaning they sell their Opticomm plans to Opticomm providers, like Activ8me, who then offer retail Opticomm services to customers.
Opticomm installation sets up a fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) internet connection in homes or businesses within an Opticomm-serviced estate, commonly found in new developments or apartment buildings.
Once the property is ready, the homeowner contacts Activ8me, an Opticomm-approved provider, to activate the service.
They both sell wholesale internet plans, but nbn and Opticomm are different networks that operate separate infrastructure and use different ISPs.
