1997: Market deregulation

​When the Australian telecommunications market was deregulated in 1997, we were one of the first telcos to receive a telecommunications carrier license – a license to disrupt the industry as a whole.

2000’s: Pioneering years​

iPrimus established its credentials as an industry trailblazer in the years that followed, establishing the first competitive fixed-line infrastructure network to Telstra. iPrimus deployed one of the largest DSLAM footprints in Australia, enabling it to deliver voice, dial-up, and ADSL services on its own network.

We pioneered new services such as bundled voice and dial-up in the early days of the internet, as well as being the first competitive carrier to launch bundled voice and ADSL.
