Dedicated Fibre. Guaranteed Speeds. Zero Compromise.
Overview
Not every device that needs an internet connection has a fixed line plugged into it. Field workers carry tablets. Delivery drivers use data terminals. Vending machines process cashless payments. Pop-up sites need temporary connectivity. Laptops need internet on the train. All of these devices need data, and Summit’s mobile broadband plans deliver it on the Telstra Wholesale network without a voice plan attached.
Summit’s mobile broadband is a data-only SIM service designed for business devices that need internet connectivity but do not make phone calls. Choose from standard, banked or pooled data plans depending on how your devices consume data, and manage every SIM alongside your office internet, phone system and mobile phones on a single Summit account.
For businesses that already rely on Summit for fixed-line internet and voice, mobile broadband closes the last gap in your connectivity picture. Every device, every location, one provider.
Key Benefits
Guaranteed Symmetric Speeds
With Ethernet over fibre, your upload speed matches your download speed — and both are guaranteed, not ‘up to’. This matters for businesses that send large files, run video conferencing, back up data to the cloud, or operate VoIP phone systems. You will never experience the upload bottleneck that frustrates businesses on standard NBN plans.
Cost Effective for What You Get
Dedicated fibre used to mean six-figure installation costs and pricing that only large enterprises could justify. With NBN Enterprise Ethernet now offering zero-cost fibre builds at the vast majority of Australian business premises, the barrier to entry has dropped significantly. Summit makes enterprise-grade fibre accessible to businesses of all sizes, with pricing that reflects the value — not the postcode.
Unlimited Data
No data caps, no shaping, no throttling. Your Ethernet over fibre connection comes with genuinely unlimited data, so your business can operate without watching the meter. Stream, upload, download, and communicate as much as you need.
Fast Cloud Access
With Summit’s Points of Presence in NEXTDC data centres, your fibre connection provides low-latency, high-throughput access to major cloud platforms including AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. For businesses that have moved critical systems to the cloud, this direct connectivity translates to faster application performance and a better experience for your team.
SLA-Backed Reliability
Our Ethernet over fibre service is backed by a 99% uptime service level agreement with defined fault response and resolution commitments. This is not a best-effort service — it is a guaranteed level of performance with accountability built in.
DDoS Protection Included
Cyber threats do not discriminate by business size. Our Ethernet over fibre service includes DDoS protection as standard, shielding your connection from volumetric attacks that could otherwise bring your business to a standstill.
Local Melbourne Support
Your dedicated fibre connection is supported by our Melbourne-based team — real people who understand business connectivity and can assist without scripts or transfers. When you need help, you get it from someone who knows your service inside and out.
IP Voice Ready
Ethernet over fibre is the ideal foundation for business voice services. When you pair it with Summit’s hosted PBX or SIP trunking, we can apply Quality of Service (QoS) policies that prioritise voice traffic on your connection. The result is crystal-clear call quality, even when your team is simultaneously downloading files, running video calls, and using cloud applications. One provider for internet and voice means no blame-shifting and no compromised call quality.
How It Works
Installation typically involves a fibre build to your premises (often at no cost on qualifying contracts), followed by configuration and testing by our team. Timeframes vary depending on the fibre build required, but our team will provide a clear timeline at the quoting stage and keep you informed throughout.
Your Premises
A fibre-optic cable is terminated at your building with a Network Termination Device (NTD), providing a standard Ethernet handoff to your network equipment.
Dedicated Fibre Path
Your connection travels over a dedicated fibre path, with no shared segments or contention with other users. The speed you are provisioned is the speed you receive.
Summit's Core Network
Your fibre connects to Summit’s core network infrastructure, with Points of Presence in NEXTDC data centres (M1, B2, P1, S1), providing direct access to major cloud providers, internet exchanges, and peering partners.
The Internet and Beyond
From our core network, your traffic is routed efficiently to its destination, whether that is a cloud application, a SaaS platform, your data centre, or anywhere else on the internet.
Use Cases
Businesses Running Cloud-First Operations
If your business has moved its critical systems to the cloud — CRM, ERP, accounting, document management, collaboration tools — then your internet connection is the single point of failure for your entire operation. Ethernet over fibre provides the guaranteed performance and reliability that cloud-first businesses require.
Offices With Heavy VoIP Usage
Real estate agencies, call centres, professional services firms, and any business that lives on the phone needs an internet connection that treats voice traffic as a priority. Summit’s Ethernet over fibre paired with our hosted PBX or SIP trunking delivers QoS-prioritised voice with guaranteed bandwidth — no dropouts, no jitter, no complaints from clients.
Multi-Site Head Offices
If your head office is the hub for multiple branch locations, it needs the highest tier of connectivity. Ethernet over fibre at your central site, combined with Summit’s fixed wireless or NBN at branch offices, creates a reliable hub-and-spoke network architecture. Add MPLS private networking for secure inter-site communication.
Data Centre Connectivity
Businesses with co-located infrastructure in NEXTDC or other data centre facilities benefit from Summit’s direct presence in these facilities. Our PoPs in NEXTDC M1, B2, P1, and S1 mean your office-to-data-centre connection is fast, direct, and low-latency.
Creative and Media Businesses
Design studios, video production companies, architecture firms, and any business that works with large files need symmetric bandwidth. Uploading project files, rendering to cloud services, and collaborating on large assets requires upload speeds that standard NBN simply cannot deliver. Ethernet over fibre makes upload bottlenecks a thing of the past.
Healthcare and Compliance-Driven Industries
Medical practices, legal firms, accounting offices, and financial services businesses all operate under compliance frameworks that demand reliable, secure connectivity. Ethernet over fibre with Summit’s DDoS protection and SLA provides the foundation for meeting these requirements.
One Provider for Everything
Summit does not just sell you a fibre connection and leave you to sort out the rest. We provide Ethernet over fibre alongside hosted PBX, SIP trunking, business mobile SIMs, 1300/1800 numbers, and 4G backup — all managed by a single team with a single point of accountability. When your internet and voice run on the same provider’s network, you get integrated QoS, coordinated failover, and one number to call when you need support.
Data Centre Presence Where It Matters
Our Points of Presence in NEXTDC M1 (Melbourne), B2 (Brisbane), P1 (Perth), and S1 (Sydney) mean your fibre connection has direct, low-latency access to the cloud platforms and services your business depends on. This is not a generic internet connection — it is purpose-built connectivity with carrier-grade routing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is it different from standard NBN?
Standard NBN shares capacity among multiple users, which means your speeds can fluctuate — especially during busy periods. Ethernet over fibre gives you a dedicated connection with guaranteed speeds, symmetric upload and download, a formal SLA with fault resolution commitments, and no contention. It is a fundamentally different tier of service.
What speeds are available?
Ethernet over fibre supports a range of symmetric speed tiers, from 10/10 Mbps up to 1,000/1,000 Mbps and beyond. The right speed depends on your business requirements — number of users, applications in use, and growth plans. Our team will recommend the optimal tier during the quoting process.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on the speed tier, contract term, and your premises location. With NBN Enterprise Ethernet now offering zero-cost fibre builds at the vast majority of business premises, the upfront barrier has been significantly reduced. Contact our team on 1300 049 749 for a tailored quote based on your specific requirements.
How long does installation take?
Installation timeframes vary depending on whether fibre infrastructure already exists at your premises. For premises with existing fibre, activation can be relatively quick. Where a new fibre build is required, timeframes are typically 3 to 8 weeks depending on the distance and complexity involved. We will provide a clear timeline at the quoting stage.
Can I bundle it with phone services?
Absolutely — and we strongly recommend it. When your Ethernet over fibre and voice services (hosted PBX or SIP trunking) both come from Summit, we apply Quality of Service policies that prioritise your voice traffic. This means crystal-clear calls even when your internet connection is under heavy data load. It is one of the key advantages of having a single provider for both.
Is there a data cap?
No. Ethernet over fibre from Summit includes genuinely unlimited data. No caps, no shaping, no throttling.
What SLA do you offer?
Our Ethernet over fibre service is backed by a 99% uptime SLA with defined fault response and resolution windows. If we do not meet the SLA, service credits apply. Full details are provided in our Service Level Agreement document.
