Exetel Network Coverage

Exetel is an Australian-owned ISP, providing network services to customers across Australia. Exetel first started in the 1990s as a technology consulting company, a service it provided until 2003. Following 2003, Exetel switched gears and began providing telecommunication services, beginning with ADSL.

Today, Exetel provides broadband services including ADSL/ADSL2+, NBN, and mobile and wireless broadband, as well as cellular services through the Optus Network.

Exetel offers network services, including mobile broadband, wireless broadband, and cellphone plans, through the Optus Network. Optus coverage extends across the majority of the southern coast in major cities, with network service extending into the Northern Territory. Coverage is expected to increase over the next six months, especially in the Perth area.
