HALFPRICE5G

Similar to the Vodafone 5G internet deal, TPG is running a 50% off Black Friday offer for their 5G home broadband internet.

Check your address if this service is available. 5G home broadband wasn't available via Vodafone, however I am eligible to sign up with TPG.

Plus plan - up to 50Mbps
First month free
$29.99/month for 6 months
$59.99/month ongoing

Premium plan - up to 100Mbps
First month free
$32.49/month for 6 months
$64.99/month ongoing

  • No lock in contract
  • $0 activation fee / delivery
  • $0 5G modem included^

^Modem non-return fee will apply if service is cancelled within 36 months of first connecting to 5G Home Broadband or if your order is withdrawn by us, and the modem is not returned. See Modem Non-Return Fee for full details.

Techy types should be aware that 5G Home Broadband uses CG-NAT. Carrier-grade NAT (Network Address Translation) is a type of network that assigns services with a private IP address, instead of a dynamic public IP address. Our network will then translate that private address into a public address. This means that the following items (which depend on internal NAT) will not work on 5G Home Broadband:

  • Port forwarding
  • Hosting web, email or file servers internally
  • Smart Home systems (e.g. accessing security camera footage remotely, home automation and printers)
  • Remote Access (i.e. accessing your home computer or devices from another location)

Carrier-Grade NAT can give you a strict NAT with some online games.

This is part of Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals for 2022

      No, the blurb that arrives with the package explains that it is data only, has no phone functionality and is not transferrable to any other device

    Technically speaking we don't have to terminate our NBN plan and have this 5G activated and trialled at the same time, right?

    I switched over to this earlier this year… lasted around a month before I went back to NBN. Erratic speeds, constant dropouts. Avoid like the plague.

  • Jolakot on 18/11/2022 - 14:58

    I find the ping on Telstra 5G home internet is acceptable for MMORPG games with Australian servers, but it's pretty frustrating for stuff like Rocket League

    For example my ping on Runescape varies between 30ms-50ms, while it was always 20ms on Telstra NBN, which isn't perceivable even doing end-game bosses given the game-tick is 600ms. Haven't really noticed a difference for casual FFXIV either, but it might matter if you're doing end-game content though

    The latency isn't actually bad, way better than it was in the ADSL2 days, but the problem is that it's constantly fluctuating. I can play with a consistent 200ms ping or 20ms ping, you just adjust your timing to compensate, but when it varies your timing is constantly off, it's like trying to dance to a song that switches BPM every 5 seconds

    So if you're playing stuff with split-second reaction times then I'd probably avoid it, but given I'm pulling down 400/75 for only $85 a month, it's an acceptable trade-off

    Heavy Packet Loss. Don’t get it. It was ok at the beginning. I think the modem has problem. Many times with tpg on the phone. They don’t want to replace the modem instead they ask me to get the nbn. Lol very bad customer service as well the technician on the phone are just robot, working from home, can here falling off spoon.
    Feels like they don’t care they just want to hang up the phone and do what they ware doing. Very useless.

    Seems about right…

  • jolee3 on 18/11/2022 - 18:38

    I just signed up to the 100Mbps plan but the comments here are making me nervous! I haven't disconnected Optus 5G yet so I can try it out for a couple of months - it'll cost more paying for both but at half price it's not too bad.

    Our Optus 5G has drop outs which are a bit annoying, but NBN for us was awful - every time it rained heavily it just stopped and we had to get an NBN technician out, which could be anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks.

    I'm hoping TPG is at least on par with Optus, as it is slightly cheaper.

      remember the first 30 days are trial therefore you're not paying anything as long as you notify them approx. 15 days before the next billing cycle kicks in.

      they will then ask you to return the 5g modem by sending you return label which you can then take to Aus Post. You got 21 days from the day you notify them to return it back.

  • RefusdClassification on 18/11/2022 - 22:59

    I wish NBN prices were dropping rather than increasing. The reason why NBN is so expensive is because the government charges resellers so much to access it. They should lower the access price, or at least give lower income families a $25/month rebate.

  • LoserScott on 19/11/2022 - 01:56

    If I want free WiFi I'll just search tpg and presto free internet.

  • [Deactivated] on 19/11/2022 - 08:29

    why would people be opting for "up to 50mpbs" plan when they can get "up to 100mbps" plan for $2.50 more per month?

    i mean realistically speaking:

    • "up to 50mbps" means download speed in peak period would probably be 5-10 mbps or less
    • "up to 100mbps" means download speed of say 10-15 mbps or less in peak period
  • aiyoyo on 19/11/2022 - 09:40

    Why 5G is not available at my street but available on all others street surrounding my place???😂

    • hollykryten on 20/11/2022 - 11:27

      You must be in some weird tiny mobile 5G black spot. Stuck between where the signal from two 5G towers aren't reaching.

  • HG Dendrobium on 19/11/2022 - 16:03

    i"m currently with Belong NBN 30mbps. Should I switch to TPG wireless home broadband 4G plan with only 20mbps, due to the half price 6 months deal and same base plan cost? My impression with current Belong plan is that it doesnt seem to be as fast as whatever I used with TPG in the past.

  • Brainwhacker on 19/11/2022 - 18:22

    Surprised it’s available in Helensvale, will go for this until I sort out the fixed NBN!

  • JoshJ on 19/11/2022 - 19:50

  • branners on 22/11/2022 - 11:26

    Anyone connected their TPG 5G yet? Any speeds?

    • jolee3 on 22/11/2022 - 21:10

      I can't even get any signal. TPG said they will escalate to the engineering team but I'm not hopeful.

      Our Optus 5G modem only works in one particular part of the house so I suspect our area is a bit sketchy, so I guess there is a good chance that TPG 5G won't work anywhere. I tried every outlet.

    • EuphratesFate on 23/11/2022 - 20:27

      Connected today. I’m getting about 170Mbps with 3 bars. Oddly enough if you get 4 bars the speeds drop to like 15-20Mbps. Dota 2 ping doubled from 22ms to 44ms.

      • [Deactivated] on 23/11/2022 - 21:38

        How is it even possible you getting 70Mbps above the maximum 100Mbps Premium plan?

        And i thought the higher the bar is, the better your signal is, therefore shouldn't your speed increases and not decreases?

        • EuphratesFate on 24/11/2022 - 18:46

          Beats me! See for yourself.

            @EuphratesFate: do you feel you are running fast (download/upload)?

            • EuphratesFate on 24/11/2022 - 19:00

              @[Deactivated]: Downloads, yes. Uploads, not so much as I'm getting 10Mbps max..Can't complain really, think I'm gonna leave More Telecom for this.

              • [Deactivated] on 24/11/2022 - 19:03

                @EuphratesFate: well you should leave More Telecom for this if you think you are actually running 190 Mbps on 100Mbps (max speed) Premium plan. that is no brainer.

                • EuphratesFate on 26/11/2022 - 01:35

                  @[Deactivated]: Yeah but the connection still drops if the modem has all 4 bars of signal. I’m thinking I may have got a dud..
