Rural Fibre Co

We're driven by a simple but powerful mission: to bring the benefits of fibre broadband to regional Australia.

With deep roots in Gippsland, we’re committed to transforming the digital landscape for communities left behind by existing broadband rollouts.

Well we’re pretty stoked to say that we’re now an award-winning telco!

And even happier that our first award is in our home territory of Gippsland.

Last Friday night, Rural Fibre Co won the Trades/Transport/Technical Services category in the Gippsland Business Awards, up against some significantly high-quality candidates from across the region.

The judges highlighted our “sophisticated planning, innovative use of technology, rapid creation of local employment and values-led commitment to accessibility, with the potential to transform connectivity across Gippsland and beyond.”

Gosh.

But as our Installations Team Leader Mitchell Stone told the crowd when he accepted the award, there are some very, very smart businesses across the region.
Which means Gippsland is the winner – and that’s what matters.

Thanks to everyone involved in the Gippsland Business Awards – judges, sponsors, organisers, participants. What a night!

Traralgon West, you've got more time for your free install!

The $0 install offer with Splice was set to wrap up on 31 August. Good news: it's been extended, so the usual $399 install fee stays at $0 for orders placed by 30 September.

If you've been meaning to make the switch to fast fibre, this is your window. Check your address at splice.au/traralgon-west, pick a plan, and our local techs will handle the rest. Router included, and there's no lock-in contract.

*$0 standard installation for new residential services at eligible Traralgon West addresses on the Rural Fibre Co network, for orders placed by 11:59pm AEST 30 September 2026. Non-standard installation work may incur a fee we'll quote and confirm before any work proceeds. Full terms: splice.au/legal/rollout-installation-promotion/traralgon-west-extension

Today we're announcing the 90 Mile Loop.

A 728 kilometre carrier-grade fibre ring from Melbourne's edge to the Latrobe Valley and onto Bairnsdale, with two physically separate paths to every town, campus and substation on it.

Gippsland already has the energy infrastructure, the industrial land, the water and the people. The missing link for investment in our region is fibre. So, we're building it.

The route is designed and costed. Now we're seeking the partners who want to be part of it. Dark fibre, managed capacity, a diverse path, or anchoring a whole segment. If you're seeking capacity, we want to hear from you.

You can learn more about where we're headed at 90mile.com

Our favourite ever question from a customer, hands down: "You're in my street, but you don't have my address. Am I chopped liver? Do I miss out?"🙋🙋🙋

Answer: No, no you don’t miss out!

Whether it’s a granny flat, a tiny home, some other kind of second dwelling or some weird situation where your address is not in our system, you can ask us to add you – just give us a call to discuss your situation.

For more information call our friendly retail partners Splice Internet on 1800 775 423.

Note that we’re going to leave any question about chopped liver well alone, though😉😉.

This week's very popular FAQ for Traralgon West: If I've ordered a service but my install is booked after the 31 August deadline, do I still get the $0 install discount?

This week's very popular answer: Yes, yes you do!

More info:

It seems lots of you are aware that our $0 install promotion is coming to an end on 31 August, and we're getting lots of questions about it.

The biggest one is - will I still get the discount if my install is booked after 31 August?

As long as you have placed your order with our retail partners Splice Internet by 31 August, you will still get the promo discount. It doesn't matter what date your install is booked for.

For orders placed after 31 August, the install price reverts back to our normal cost of $399.

We know one of the things that holds people back from ordering a Rural Fibre Co connection is their concern over the civil works. 🚜🚜

Are we going to wreck your lawn? Your garden? Your bitumen driveway? Your walls?

For anyone who loves their home and surrounds, these are really valid questions.

And the simple answer is no, we’re not.

Our home installation teams – indoors and outdoors - take incredible pride in leaving things in the best possible way, and will talk you through everything that we can do to leave your property looking great.🌹🌺💐

Yes, you’ll know we’ve laid fibre underground until things settle back down. Sometimes we have to wait a while for wet weather or boggy ground to improve before we can finish off.

But we do our absolute best to reinstate your property – both because we’re local, and also because we want to do the right thing.

You can see a full video of the process at our website at ruralfibre.co.

And if you ever have concerns about the way we’ve left a site, please don’t hesitate to call us on 1300 111 466.

Question: Can I connect a second building on my block without paying for a second service?

Answer: A cautious yes - there are options but they depend on the site.

Close buildings might just need a well-placed range extender (beacon), available from Splice from $80.

If your second building is beyond that range, we can assess if it is suitable to connect via an external data cable at an additional cost, or advise of other options.

For more information call our friendly (and local) retail partners at Splice Internet on 1800 775 423.

Question: Does it matter how far back my house is from the road to qualify for the free installation promotion running at the moment for Traralgon West?

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Still no.

(but the $0 installation promotion for Traralgon West closes on 31 August, so get in quick! For orders lodged after 31 August, the installation cost will revert to our standard fee of $399. You can order via our retail partners, Splice Internet, at splice.au)

One of the questions we are asked the most is “why would I want fibre broadband with you guys?”.

And we reckon it’s a fair enough question.

So we’ve put together a few answers that we think sum up the best bits:

✅This is top grade internet that is future-proof for years to come
✅It’s faster than fixed wireless or satellite (see our website at ruralfibre.co for a comparison)
✅It’s backed by the support of local people - no offshore call centres, no city-based management who don't understand life out here.
✅And best of all, no contract plus no install fee*= no risk. Order your service for a month, and suck it and see!

(*Note our $0 installation promotion applies for orders placed before 31 August; orders made after that date will attract our standard home install fee of $399)

To order a service, just visit the website of our retail partners Splice Internet at splice.au, or call their lovely team on 1800 775 423.
