SABRENet provides very high speed communication between sites connected directly to the network but SABRENet itself does not provide an internet service.

Instead, SABRENet enables access to connection points (called Points of Presence - POPs) from which other oprganisations can deliver internet services. These include three POPs operated by the Australian Academic and Research Network (AARNet), which allows AARNet members (the universities and CSIRO), schools and other eligible AARNet customers  to access the internet via AARNet.

SABRENet also connects to several commercial data centres from which commercial internet service providers can deliver internet access directly to sites on the SABRENet network.
