The Forge Pizzeria was started by brothers Tim and Chris Matthews. A family run business, the restaurant was named after their grandfather who was a blacksmith, and grew from a humble two employees to over 90 within six years.
Today, they run two restaurants and a catering facility that can service over 300 people. The rapid growth of the business meant there was a strong need for online systems to help manage and keep things running smoothly – and that’s where being connected to the nbn™ access network came to the fore. With fingerprint logins and online timesheet management, Tim and Chris can keep track of what’s happening across all of their businesses from various locations.
Most importantly, thanks to technology supported by the nbn™ access network, they can now focus on their core business – having fun and making pizza! A true recipe for success.
The nbn™ access network supports our technology and that supports our success.

Prepare your business for the switch
Is your business ready for the nbn™ access network? To help prepare you for the switch, use our handy checklist to tick off important items, determine which services and equipment may be affected, and find out what you need to do next.
We’re designing the nbn™ broadband access network to provide these speeds to our wholesale customers and service providers. Your experience, including the speeds actually achieved over the nbn™ network, depends on the nbn™ access network technology and configuration over which services are delivered to your premises, whether you are using the internet during the busy period, and some factors outside our control (like your equipment quality, software, broadband plans, signal reception and how your service provider designs its network). Speeds may be impacted by network congestion on nbn’s Fixed Wireless network, including during busy periods. Satellite users may experience latency. nbn™ wholesale speed tiers available to your provider vary depending on the access technology in your area.
