The company tested a mainland network in the Australian Capital Territory for 18 months before a rollout began this month in the ACT, Western Sydney and the Northern Territory.

By February the company will open up its network to 1.9 million premises across Sydney, regional NSW and the NT and by May the service will be available to 11 million premises across the Australia.

The company's founder Damian Ivereigh started the company in 2007 after his ongoing frustration with large telecommunication.

This is when he decided there should be no contracts, as customers should want to stay with the company because they wanted to, and the sentiment has stayed true until this day.

"We're ready and we're proudly flying the Tasmanian flag of innovation," Mr Ivereigh said.

"We're committed to building a telco that's as fast and flexible as the NBN was meant to be - also one that genuinely invests to give users a premium nbn experience."

Once the gigabit connection was switched on in May 2017, Launceston joined a growing number of 'gigacities' that boast the world's fastest internet including New York, Amsterdam, Southampton, Singapore and Brussels.

The company can deliver speeds from 1000 megabits per second down and 400 megabits per second up, which is 10 times faster than the national maximum and 100 times faster than the national average.

The managing director said some Australian NBN services resold other company's networks which meant they did not control the networks, which could affect internet speeds.

"Many people don't realise that while much of the internet in Australia relies on the nbn, some service providers resell other company's networks...and others, like us, build their own networks," he said.

"This ultimately puts us in control of how traffic is prioritised for customers.

"In short we don't have to share and allows us to control as much of the network as possible."
