History

1999Datafast commenced as a trunked radio network operator in Victoria. From 1999 to 2001, it developed a 34Mb/s ATM backbone network in western Victoria. Ultimately the network extended to Mt Gambier in South Australia, with a hub in Melbourne and links to other state capitals.

These purchases raised the size of the customer base to 85,000 and extended broadband coverage to Tasmania, completing the national roll-out.

2004In January 2004, Datafast acquired NSW ISP Planet Netcom, adding a further 15,000 accounts and bringing the total customer base to over 100,000, making the company one of Australia’s 10 largest ISPs.In June 2004, Datafast acquired Bunbury based ISP OzzieNet, and in October Datafast acquired Affinity, a Melbourne based ISP and its umbrella of brands, taking the total number of active accounts on the Datafast network to 120,000.
