        Not if you have this FTTB network running to your building. You’d go this FTTB network over NBN every time

    • cyssero on 07/04/2020 - 01:15

      This is not NBN so CVCs don't come in to play. If your apartment building has access to this, this over NBN any time.

        You sure this isn't nbn? Pretty sure fttb is just one of the many exciting technologies used in nbn.

          It’s definitely not NBN. I have this and NBN running to my building. Everyone in my building is on this network. You can only get it from TPG and iiNet (Same company). 96 down 38 up all day everyday

            @BarryBargain88: You should be also able to get it through Westnet since TPG owns that too being a subsidiary under TPG.

        • hollykryten on 07/04/2020 - 09:35
          +2

          If the building is serviced directly by TPG then TPG owns all the internet network hardware in the building. It's not NBN.

          Just like how TPG owns its own VDSL2 nodes in certain places in the ACT for example iiNet VDSL2 nodes (called TransAct).

          You can only get this FTTB from TPG through TPG or one of it's subsidiaries (iiNet and Westnet for example). So your choices for an ISP are very limited indeed. But it would be way better than say FTTN any day. But then again any thing is better than FTTN.

    FTTB :/

    Gosh the terms are so confusing. But I think fttb = not most people?

    • Tekuza on 07/04/2020 - 00:32

      I miss FTTB, used to pay this price for TPG and practically got 100Mbps/40 which cost so much more with NBN at my new place ($87 to be exact). I'm contemplating to switch to the 50/20 NBN plans but worried it will dramatically drop my streaming and download speeds.
      Any OZBs here that are heavy downloaders and media consumers and on 50/20 that can comment? FYI live alone so don't need to share internet with family or housemates.
      TY in advance.

      • tof on 07/04/2020 - 00:35
        +13

        50/20 is more than ample for 4K HDR streaming on Netflix. Can generally max out at 5.2MBps on torrent services.

        • twig on 07/04/2020 - 23:48

          Then times it by the number of people streaming that in your household

        I agree with Tof, 100/40 would be nice but I don't find the need for anymore than my 50/20 and I can stream 4k no worries.

        • solidussnake on 07/04/2020 - 05:38

          Same! only benefit of 100/40 is double the download speed for games and torrents also uploading content to YouTube, but for streaming services in 4k 50/20 is more than enough

              @entropysbane: I've got a family with 2 small children (<5 years old) and even Belong's Starter plan (35Mbps down) was ample for us. I have just upped it to 50/20 because I'm going to be working from home soon. I work in IT and have worked for ISPs in the past, so I'm well aware of bandwidth requirements. I download a lot and we stream 4k Netflix (only 1 TV).

              With older kids and multiple TVs yes you would really notice the drop from 100 to 50, but for someone who lives alone, 50 would be more than enough for day to day use, especially if money is tight.

              • entropysbane on 07/04/2020 - 16:25

                @bonezAU: Two small children is not at all the same as two teenagers as you will eventually discover.
                In my case there are three teenagers, and Mrs entropy has somehow become addicted to k-dramas on Netflix.

                Doesn’t seem to be picking up Korean though.

                Agree on single occupant households. I have set up my 85yo father with 50 only for when grandkids visit. 25 would do him tbh.

                  @entropysbane: lol, my missus has been watching Korean stuff on Netflix as well lately, no idea why. Best of luck to her.
                  Understood about teenagers, they'd need much more bandwidth than little kids sharing a TV streaming YouTube.

    I have FTTB in my apt building. When I put in my address, it redirects me to NBN plans and says it's unavailable..

    • Hybroid on 07/04/2020 - 00:48

      FTTB utilises fibre optic cable all the way to a shared point in the building’s communications room.

      FTTP there will be a NBN device installed somewhere in the apartment.

      • 0lllllll0 on 07/04/2020 - 00:50

        FTTP would be considered better, right?

        and there's no way to get this deal since it's only for FTTB? How annoying! I was so looking forward to moving on from superloop..

        • Hybroid on 07/04/2020 - 00:53
          +1

          Yep FTTP is the better connection with highest speed. Superloop and ABB are generally regarded as the best providers here. Not the cheapest but certainly best networks and you get what you pay for.

          • 0lllllll0 on 07/04/2020 - 00:54

            @Hybroid: Yep, was with aussie for all of 2019. Looking to move back in June when I'm considered a "new customer". Superloop had a $20 off for 6 months which I couldn't overlook. But I've been getting drop outs pretty often with them.

              @0lllllll0: Also changed to Superloop had alot of drops outs when I changed to them and also my peak internet speed has halved, sent multiple support tickets zero reply so I complained on their Facebook page ignored me and blocked and deleted my comments.

              @delfredo: HFC is good when it works. HFC upload speeds can tank really slow when people are working from home.

              FTTP is better for all sorts of reasons like being more stable, faster speed and doesn't have upload speed problems.

        • cyssero on 07/04/2020 - 01:19
          +5

          FTTP is no doubt the better technology but for $60/m and to not deal with CVC congestion or the NBN at all, this service (extremely limited) is by far the better option.

          It really shouldn't be compared to the NBN as there are a very small number of people who can access this and therefore the comparison is a very unlikely scenario. I have the choice of FTTC NBN or FTTB TPG and the cost saving with TPG is about $30/m for a service that has been 100/40 with no congestion issues for the last 3 years.

  • freoleo on 07/04/2020 - 00:46

      It's the same deal, it's just different acronyms. Fibre to the Premises vs Fibre to the Building, this iiNet Plan and other FTTP or FTTB plans should be available to you.

      If iiNet address checker directs you to their nbn page that means you don't have access to TPG fttb which is completely separated from nbn btw. TPG run their own fttb, along with their subsidiary iiNet.

    • Twix on 07/04/2020 - 12:31

      FTTP is the best you can get. The only bad thing is the price$ vs speed we pay compared to the rest of the world.

      • serpserpserp on 19/10/2020 - 21:02

    This is FTTB through TPG’s own infrastructure.
    Has nothing to do with NBN and is in selected cherry picked (ie. densely populated profitable) areas only, but there are many apartment blocks which have the choice of both.

    If the address checker only shows NBN then you won’t get this.

    Can I migrate from TPG's FTTB to this iiNet's offer so I can get 3 months for free?

    • cyssero on 07/04/2020 - 01:22

      Yes but before you do (like I did), TPG's retention team will offer you a few month's credit before you leave anyway. It's a bit of a pain to leave and rejoin as someone needs to physically come out to do basically the same job you already have in place. And you'll need to ensure there's port availability (which there should be if it lets you proceed).

          Yeah, it's basically the same one as the TPG FTTB modem-router and you'll need a technician to come in.

  • milton uts on 07/04/2020 - 10:07
    +4

    Just to clarify FTTB service-
    NBN also provides FTTB and as an end-user NBN FTTB got no different than any other NBN service, which means you buy services from all different service providers that got the possibility to get congested during peak hours like any other NBN service.

    The difference with TPG/IINET(they are the same network now) FTTB is, TPG/IINET got direct fibre(bypassing NBN network) to mostly high-density apartment buildings where they provide internet service. This FTTB is the best as per my use and online forums. you can get 100/40 speed all the time without any congestion, soon you might get upto 125/25 speed at 59/month (TPG insider source, not sure, if anyone getting more than 100 meg can confirm here).
    Please remember this service is not available at all apartments. Finds online for TPG FTTB to check if your building got TPG/IINET FTTB.

    you can also request TPG to install FTTB to your apartment complex if your have more than approx. 50~80 internet connection in your apartments.

  • Phillip86 on 08/04/2020 - 07:48

    I recently installed this and have been very happy so far. $30 per month cheaper than the equivalent NBN plan. Generally 90 download/33 upload. I have experience a few temporary major speed drops to around 10mpbs download/ 33 upload around 9.15pm on consecutive evenings last week - I attribute this to general internet congestion (not the fault of TPG / iinet).

  • HKS on 12/04/2020 - 16:34

    wtf is the difference between fttp and fttb, i thought they were the same thing. unless fttp means it only runs to the box outside your house and uses the existing copper from house to box idk

    • Hardstuck Silver 2 on 14/04/2020 - 12:44

      Could be wrong but my understanding is FTTB routes fibre to your building complex (think MDF in an apartment block), then internal copper to your actual residence, where as FTTP is straight to your residence.

      I would assume FTTP is rare in dense living and FTTB doesn't really exist much in the burbs (potentially FTTC - Fibre to the Curb is more common)

        Yep, mostly correct, FTTB is the same as FTTN but just instead of the ‘node’ being in a box on the street serving ~384 houses, it’s situated near the MDF of an apartment building.

        FTTC is a little different in that it requires the NCD from NBN for the reverse power for the DPU in the pit.

        FTTC should technically be able to allow for higher speeds, but NBN seem to have given that a miss with the May rollout of higher speed plans on FTTP and HFC, although HFC has already been found to not be able to delivered the 1000Mbps speeds that FTTP can do without breaking a sweat on NBN.

      TPG/iiNet FTTB is different to NBN's FTTB. TPG/iiNet FTTB is private and not owned by the government and not paid for my tax payers.

    Awesome, I just used it, thanks for that! Please note it is case-sensitive.
    Good deal at the moment with free Fetch for 24 months

    I have FTTB with TPG - moving to a new apartment in same building - can I sign up as new customer with iiNet and get the 3m free?
