iiNet Limited is recognised for achieving outstanding commercial success and sustainable growth. The seal on this page authenticates the recipient's eligibility to display the Australian Business Awards logo.
The Australian Business Awards are delighted to recognise iiNet as recipients of the Award for Enterprise. The achievement of iiNet in developing a strategic alliance with PowerTel has demonstrated their willingness to undertake a bold new venture that seems certain to continue iiNet’s history of outstanding commercial success and sustainable growth.
iiNet began in 1993 in a suburban garage; a pioneer in a fledgling industry. Since then iiNet has grown into Australia’s third largest Internet Service Provider (ISP), and expanded its business to incorporate new technologies, now offering dial-up, broadband and VOIP telephony to almost 200,000 customers.
iiNet’s alliance with PowerTel, continued investment in infrastructure and expansion of their broadband network have kept them at the forefront of the telecommunications industry and positioned the company to bring Australia’s broadband service up to world standards. By offering competitive broadband products and providing a real alternative to the larger industry players in Telstra and Optus, iiNet allows more Australians the opportunity to access better broadband speeds.
