The Connectivity Challenge

Lightning Broadband fixed wireless customers have been hearing that the network is being wound down. If you have received a notice, or you have heard the same talk we have, you are facing a question no business wants to answer under a deadline: what happens to our internet, our phones and our EFTPOS when the service stops?

The worst time to sort that out is the week before the cut-off, when every other affected business is calling around at once and installers are booked out. The best time is now, while you still have a working connection and room to choose properly.

Fixed wireless was the right call for your business in the first place. You chose it because it is fast to install, it does not depend on copper in the street, and it delivers speeds that NBN often cannot at a commercial address. None of that has changed. You simply need a fixed wireless network that is staying put. Summit has been building ours since August 2000, it is licensed under ACMA Carrier Licence #388, and it carries business traffic only.

How Summit Helps

  • Stay on Fixed Wireless, Not Back to NBN

    You do not have to give up the technology that works for you. Summit's network uses the same rooftop-antenna approach you already know, so moving across is a like-for-like switch rather than a step backwards to a shared NBN connection.

  • Connected in 10 Business Days, Guaranteed

    Our install guarantee is simple: your service is live within 10 business days of order, or your first month is free. When you are working to someone else's shutdown date, that certainty matters.

  • A Network We Own and Operate

    Summit is a licensed carrier, not a reseller. We built the towers, the backhaul and the core network your connection runs on. When something needs attention, it is our own engineers who fix it, with no wholesaler in the middle.

  • Built Only for Business

    There are no residential customers on our network. Capacity is planned around business hours, so your speeds hold up at 10am on a Tuesday, exactly when you need them.

  • Symmetric Speeds, From 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps

    Cloud backups, video calls and VoIP all depend on upload speed. Summit offers symmetric options, so your uploads can match your downloads, with speeds that scale from 10 Mbps up to 10 Gbps as your business grows.

  • Bring Your Phones Across Too

    If your phone lines are tied to your current connection, we can move those as well. Summit's Hosted PBX and SIP trunks run on the same network, and we port your existing numbers so your customers notice nothing.

  • Keep Trading With 4G Backup

    Add automatic 4G failover and your EFTPOS, cloud systems and phones keep running even if the primary link is interrupted. For retailers, clinics and hospitality venues, it is cheap insurance.

  • One Provider, One Bill

    Internet, phones, mobiles and backup from one carrier, on one invoice, with one team accountable for all of it. A forced change is a good moment to tidy up four suppliers into one.

How It Works

  1. 1 Check Your Address

    Enter your business address in our coverage checker or call us on 1300 049 749. We will tell you quickly whether our network reaches you, and if it does not, we will tell you what will.

  2. 2 Tell Us Your Deadline

    Let us know when your current service ends. We plan your installation backwards from that date so your business moves across with no gap in service.

  3. 3 Site Survey and Install

    Our technicians confirm line of sight, mount a small antenna on your roof and connect it to your network. We install and own our own equipment, so there is nothing for you to buy.

  4. 4 Go Live, Then Cancel

    We test your new connection and hand it over. Once you are happy it is working, you cancel your old service. No downtime, no scramble.

  • After working with another ISP for several months to deliver a critical internet service for a major international sporting event, we were ultimately advised that the required upgrade was unlikely to be completed prior to event week. This left us facing a significant risk to service delivery. After exhausting all other options (and a few sleepless nights) we came across Summit Internet. From the initial conversation, Allan immediately understood the severity of the situation and quickly engaged his technical delivery team. Michael “Radar” was on site within days to assess and finalise a solution. Despite challenging conditions, including large trees and other obstructions, he worked tirelessly to design and implement an alternative approach. Leveraging an adjacent building, a temporary NBN connection, and a wireless link into the comms room, the solution was delivered within 24 hours of the initial site visit. Not only was the outcome faster than expected, but it was also more cost effective and delivered higher speeds than originally promised by the previous ISP. Over the course of the event, the service handled terabytes of data and supported hundreds of concurrent users without a single speed or performance issue. I cannot thank Summit Internet, particularly Allan and Radar enough for their exceptional service, technical expertise, and commitment to delivering under pressure. Highly recommended.Read more

  • Summit internet recently set my small business up with a local land line number and a soft phone that runs off an app on my mobile - getting my personal phone number off the internet and being able to distinguish between business and personal calls is a game changer. Whole process took less than a week, and is super cost effective. Highly recommend.Read more

Frequently asked questions

Is Lightning Broadband shutting down its fixed wireless network?
We understand Lightning Broadband is winding down its fixed wireless service, but only Lightning Broadband can confirm the details and dates for your connection. Check any notice they have sent you, or contact them directly. Whatever the timing, it pays to have your replacement lined up before your service ends.
Is Summit Internet part of Lightning Broadband?
No. Summit Internet is an independent Australian carrier (ACMA Carrier Licence #388) and is not affiliated with Lightning Broadband. We run our own fixed wireless network and have done since August 2000.
How quickly can you connect my business?
In as little as 10 business days from order. If we do not meet that timeframe, your first month is free. Contact us as early as you can, because installation slots fill up when a lot of businesses need to move at once.
Will there be any downtime when I switch?
There should not be. We install and test your Summit connection while your existing service is still running. You only cancel the old service once your new one is live.
Do you connect homes, or only businesses?
Summit's network is business-only. If you are a residential customer, we are not the right fit, and we would suggest asking your current provider about your options.
Can I keep my phone numbers?
Yes. If your phone service is moving too, we port your existing numbers to a Summit Hosted PBX or SIP trunk, so your callers will not notice any change.
Is Summit's network in my area?
Summit's fixed wireless network covers 500+ suburbs across Melbourne and regional Victoria. Use our coverage checker or call 1300 049 749. If fixed wireless cannot reach your premises, we will recommend business fibre, business NBN or 4G instead.
Do I need to buy new equipment?
No. Summit supplies and installs the antenna and the equipment needed to deliver your connection. Our technician confirms the best mounting point during the site survey.
How fast is Summit's fixed wireless?
Speeds range from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps depending on your plan and location, with symmetric options so your upload speed can match your download speed.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on the speed you need and your location. Request a quote or call 1300 049 749 and we will give you a clear price for your address, usually the same day.
