UltraNet was an Internet service provider based in Marlborough, Massachusetts, United States. It was founded in 1994 by Geoffrey Schultz, a former employee of DEC. It specialized in dial-up residential and high-speed business Internet access and web site hosting. In 1998, it was bought out, along with another ISP in Virginia called Erols, for a combined $110 million by RCN Corp.. At the time, UltraNet had around 60,000 customers. RCN continued to run a network operations center at the Marlborough location for several years. Schultz took the opportunity to pursue his love of recreational sailing on a full-time basis.

The Ultranet was an online learning management system developed for the Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development in Australia to provide extensive services to students, parents and teachers in government schools. The Ultranet was built by Australian IT firm CSG and phased into school use between 2006 and 2010. Following an audit that found that the Ultranet seriously lacked the features and functionality it was intended to deliver, the Victorian government announced that it would be abandoning support for the system at the end of 2013.
The website, when visited, displays a "Goodbye Ultranet" message and the date the site was officially shut down, 19 December 2013.
