note 2001 approx ACN 095 899 317 (CHARON SYSTEMS PTY LTD) was previously cited for this ISP but is likely a name collision: that company registered only 14 Feb 2001, is based at VIC 3228 (Surf Coast, not Melbourne), and remains active in 2026 whereas the Charon dialup ISP died 2005; its name ('Charon Systems') also differs from the ISP's 'Charon Information Systems/Services'. ACN removed from summary pending a positive link.
death c. 2006 approx charon.net.au still served the live 'Welcome to Charon Internet' ISP homepage (dialup + web hosting + broadband) at the 13 Feb 2008 capture; the domain had become a 301 redirect by the next capture (Feb 2012), so retail ended c.2008-2011. Retail ISP site replaced by a content-farm comparison page during 2006 - earlier than the proposed c. 2008-2011 (the Feb 2008 'last live ISP capture' was actually this content farm). archive archive
