Transact Capital Communications is a telecom company which is a product of careful planning by a visionary team of experts headed by ACTEW Executive, Neville Smith. The plan started in 1996 to build a company based on the Open Access Network philosophy.
What Broadband are you looking for?
The Open Access Network or OAN business model shows that the network administrator does not provide or supply the services for the network, but rather, it is the different retail providers who do that job. As opposed to one network provider which has monopoly over different types of services, the OAN model lets various providers compete in the same network with competitive prices. This is an advantage for consumers who always get the best because of the competition.
With that philosophy, Transact, which is based in Canberra, is in a league of its own providing different types of telecommunications products such as broadband, fixed line, mobile phones, and cable services in that area. The company which was partly owned by Actew Corporation was acquired by iiNet Limited in a merger in November 2011.
Headed by the best of the best in the industry, Transact has a wide array of customers which is composed of 150,000 product-based costumers, 50 government and federal state agencies, and 5,000 businesses. The number itself is evidence of the excellence and dedication of the company to provide the best services to its customers.

This means that the people you talk to really understand where you are coming from and will go out of their way to help you in any way.
