            @vid_ghost: There's no way to tell the origin of shareholders though, even when listed on the share registry it doesn't mean you know who the ultimate owner is. Investment banks are often the face of the registry, but they hold it on behalf of their clients, investment funds, institutions etc…

            I'd say TPG/Telstra/Aussie broadband are all aussie owned being listed in Australia would mean a large local retail holding and large local institution holding (ie our super funds and future fund)

        The court actually found TPG was not false and misleading, and that the terms that allow it to keep the prepayment when customers exited their plans was not unfair.

        On appeal by the ACCC, again the court found TPG was not misleading its customers: https://www.crn.com.au/news/tpg-handed-another-victory-over-…

        • Jay-rad on 14/06/2024 - 08:05

          Thanks for an answer. As a consumer, you'd think you get that $20back or can use the entirety of it, which neither are true.

          A rebranding of the terminology on TPGs part would go a long way to avoid these accc engagement and overal confusion it feels like

          • Windthunder on 14/06/2024 - 08:19

            I can't remember what was reported as TPG's argument in court but I believe it is on the basis that this is similar to prepaid mobile phone service, hence the term 'prepayment' and why you don't get the credit back when you leave. You also don't get the remaining credit back with a prepaid mobile phone service if you choose to exit out of their plans .

    Is the top speed actually capped at 500 or is that just the “minimum” advertised speed? I’m on capti $109 for gigabit but this would be a very good deal if the 500 speed tier was actually uncapped.

    • Twix on 05/06/2024 - 21:05

      I can't find any info saying it's faster than 500Mbps. The TPG branding just says FTTB max.

        Same. TPG Rep only speak about the 250.
        "The confirmed speed for the FTTB250 is at 220mbps download and 25mbps upload."

        Would be keen to know if the 500Mbps is 500-1000

        • jaejae69 on 06/06/2024 - 18:28

          The 25 upload is a bit tough going back to as well. Capti advertise 1000/50 but I’m consistently getting 100 up speeds since day 1

        • Katana95 on 30/06/2024 - 10:13

          250/25 is upto 265/50 and 500/25 is up to 920/110 with thier NTU. They advertise the speeds below what it is capable.

      • jace88 on 07/06/2024 - 12:58

        I'm getting 460ish consistently when running speed tests to various servers. Still better than expected given I thought this building had dodgy old wiring limiting me to 100 up until two days ago.

    • TightLikeThisx on 05/06/2024 - 22:44

      I've got TPG FTTB and I get 110/39.

      I've been on them for ages so maybe it's not a 100/25 plan. I think it was 100/40 when I signed up.

      • Turd on 05/06/2024 - 23:09
        -1

        It's always advertised as 100/20 to compete with NBN
        But realistically everyone gets 100/40 and due to their overprovisning again to compete with NBN they make it 110/39

        You should try G.fast it will blow your mind

        • TightLikeThisx on 06/06/2024 - 18:42

          Thanks for the info.

          I think the 250/500 tiers of this TPG offering are using G.fast.

          I checked out capti which advertises G.fast and its $90 for 250/40 or $109 for 1000/50.

          I ended up just calling up TPG and asking can I just cancel my plan and sign up to the 500/25 deal and they agreed.

          So for $5 less than what I am paying now a month + $20 I get 5x my current download speed (hopefully) for the next 12 months.

          The contract is for only 6 months too so if I need to I can get it disconnected without having to pay the $99.95 disconnection fee when my lease expires after that or just downgrade to my current plan if I wish.

          • Jay-rad on 06/06/2024 - 19:00

            @TightLikeThisx: Let us know how it all goes.

            From reading WP and interwebz, if you're not on the 250Mbps or above plans, you'll be changed back to VDSL2, from G.FAST. But keen to see if thats not the case

            • TightLikeThisx on 06/06/2024 - 19:52

              @Jay-rad:

              Let us know how it all goes.

              Will do. Ill give an update here.

              From reading WP and interwebz, if you're not on the 250Mbps or above plans, you'll be changed back to VDSL2, from G.FAST. But keen to see if thats not the case

              I think this is correct. The setup guide for the modem pictured on the sign in page mentions that the Adtran® Gfast NTU is supplied with the 250/500 plans. Whether this holds true over time is another story though.

              For historical records sake my speed at 7:50pm according to google is currently:
              109.6 Mbps download
              36.9 Mbps upload
              Latency is 7ms

              On speedtest.net it is:
              111.79 Mbps download
              37.05 Mbps upload
              Latency is 7ms

              @Jay-rad: The technician just finished up.

              I've just tested the connection with the equipment TPG supplied. They posted out the modem but the technician supplied the NTU.

              On speedtest.net I get:
              936.07 Mbps download
              47.16 Mbps upload
              Latency is 5ms

              The other speed testing sites aren't reliable as the test number is still increasing when the test terminates

              I heard the Vision Network person talking to the technician. They told the technician the line synced at 1.1 Gbps download and 100 Mbps upload.

              Real life this equates to watching an 8K video on youtube at 558.034 Mbps with only a couple of dropped frames (probably my computer TBH).

              I downloaded an ISO of Microsoft 11 and it ranged between 60-98 MB/s.

                @TightLikeThisx: Thanks! For all the details.

                • TightLikeThisx on 13/06/2024 - 16:51

                  @Jay-rad: I think the copper in my building is relatively new.

                  These would probably be the max speeds you could expect.

                  Goodluck!

              • Turd on 14/06/2024 - 13:30

                @TightLikeThisx: Yeah if you join capti you will get the full upload speed, TPG likely caps it

                • TightLikeThisx on 14/06/2024 - 18:19

                  @Turd: That's wild. Thanks for the heads up.

                  If my income improves I will consider it but similar speeds for $39 less per month is not bad for now.

                @TightLikeThisx: Are you using a VX420? They have a default shaper of 50Mbps on the EWAN. Ask TPG to remove the shaper and you should get close to double the upload

                • TightLikeThisx on 01/07/2024 - 17:34
                  +2

                  @Katana95: It's funny because I changed my router on the weekend and noticed that my upload speed increased.

                  I was going to post about it here but you did so now I don't have to so thanks. :)

                  I just did a test and got 913Mbps down and 110Mbps up. I think the download speed on the router I am using now is a little slower. I was getting 940Mbps with the supplied router.

                  Thanks for the heads up anyway. So glad I took advantage of this offer. I pay $5 less than what I was paying before and get 8-9x the download speed and 2-3x the upload speed. OP made my year.

              • SpeedAU on 23/10/2024 - 21:58

                @TightLikeThisx: how have you found TPG routing and speed now?

                • TightLikeThisx on 23/10/2024 - 22:37

                  @SpeedAU: The speeds are the same. Honestly it's overkill for me. The upload speed is useful though.

                  I suspect that many sites actually cap their download speeds.

                  Things like windows update are fine. I just downloaded something from apple and it was 70MB/s.

                  Hard to argue at the price point of this deal.

    • Katana95 on 30/06/2024 - 10:10

      It is up to 1G due to 1G LAN hand off on the NTU.
      I am still on the trial and get above 1G.
      They advertise at 500/50 to avoid complaints if some customers can not get the full speed due to bad or long copper in the building.

              A minimum $20 prepayment (‘Prepayment’) is required at registration and will be used for calls outside of the included value for your service.

        Does this mean this is NOT an NBN service?

        • Twix on 05/06/2024 - 22:46

          TPG FTTB is not the same as nbn FTTB.

    Ended up signing up for the promo since my iinet plan is $74.99 for 100Mbps plan… seems like a no brainer for the same service; but this time I'm trying the unlimited so let's see if it gets anywhere near 500Mbps.

    One thing which did strike me as odd during the sign up was I had to waive my rights under CSG…. it looks like the main impact is I lose the ability to complain if they're late/etc to the installation.

      The FTTB service is not a standard telephone service and the Customer Service Guarantee (CSG) does not apply. You may be acquiring a voice service bundled with the Service and that voice service may require you to waive rights to the CSG

      If you pick 250/500Mbps plan, TPG'll provide 2 devices , 1 Network Termination Unit (NTU) and 1 Modem.

      Can you report back the model number of that NTU? Would appreciate it.

      I'm using Capti Internets FTTB (who also uses Vision Network), wondering if they chose a different brand/model. Capti uses an ADTran 422G bridge. FWIW Capti had no setup fees, free NTU, free technician call out, etc

      • Turd on 05/06/2024 - 23:11

        NTU is not required for everyone, only those where the dslam is small or such the reverse power NTU isnt for everyone.

        Pretty sure they provide the same adtran g.fast modem

        TPG FTTB also uses vision networks.

        It is the same thing.

        • Jay-rad on 06/06/2024 - 11:42

          For G.Fast ADTran NTU is required.

          Whirlpool forums confirmed its the same model.

      • jace88 on 07/06/2024 - 09:41

        I picked the 500Mbps plan, and the only hardware I've received in the mail today from Startrack is the tp-link AX5400 VX420-G2v. Coincidentally it's nearly identical to the VX420-G2h which I currently use for iinet so I assume there must be minor hardware revisions.

    • TrustNoBody on 06/06/2024 - 07:22

      so you were able to sign up again at the cheaper rate even though your not a new customer ? my son is with them but their plan jumped to $75pm

      • jace88 on 06/06/2024 - 08:34

        I went from an iiNet branded FTTB to TPG. Let's see though as all I've done is register.

      • TightLikeThisx on 06/06/2024 - 18:27

        I just managed to do it over the phone.

        I am on TPG FTTB 100mbps plan (not NBN) and off contract.

        I had to cancel my existing account and create a new account. A technician has to come also and set up the new modem.

        • TrustNoBody on 06/06/2024 - 18:48

          does the technician still need to come if you already have FTTB installed by iinet

            @TrustNoBody: Good question, TPG Chat agent said yes. (But this is all new to TPG so maybe lack of training)

            Which doesn't make sense since we'd already have the NTU and be jumpered in the MDF.

            In ideal world, it'd be like changing NBN providers, no tech visit required

            • TrustNoBody on 07/06/2024 - 07:48

              @Jay-rad: yes as my son got his unit hooked up with FTTB about 1.5 years ago with iinet and i told him about tpg cheaper plan as his plan has now jumped from $54 to $75 i think , but he won’t like having a day off work to wait around for a tech to come only to say he didn’t need anything installed ..

          • jace88 on 07/06/2024 - 09:57

            @TrustNoBody: I got called to book in a technician today but given I'm also with iinet, and the modem received in the mail today is nearly identical to my iinet model - TPG sent a VX420-G2v whilst I already have a VX420-G2h.

            My question is whether I want to switch over to the new modem or not since I already got bridge mode working on the G2h a long time ago so that I could use my ASUS mesh wifi.

            Edit: technician arrived and brought the Adtran modem!

              @jace88: Speedtest is showing 5ms/461.68/55.16 on my Asus router connected to the Adtran modem on the Max plan. Bit sad I'm not quite hitting 500Mbps but it's far better than my 100Mbps connection with iiNet on the same FTTB for similar money.

            • TrustNoBody on 09/06/2024 - 14:12

              @jace88: so you did need a tech to install new wiring or just install the modem ?

              • jace88 on 09/06/2024 - 15:22

                @TrustNoBody: No new wiring but they had to go down to see the building manager for access to the comms room. He also left a tone generator on the line in my apartment so I assume he was making sure it met minimum spec or something before doing whatever he did. Was all done in <15mins. The old tp-link modem/router combo from iinet was unplugged, and the new one from TPG was unopened in the box, as we plugged the new Adtran modem directly into my Asus mesh wifi.

                • TrustNoBody on 10/06/2024 - 09:55

                  @jace88: oh ok so pretty fast ..did they give you a time frame on when they were coming ? or just am / pm booking ? as my son gets home from work roughing 3:30 most days but i dare say i will need to go wait for the tech ..

                    @TrustNoBody: Sorry I missed this message and probably too late - but basically a 4 hour window with a promise to give me a call/message half an hour beforehand.

                    • TrustNoBody on 19/06/2024 - 13:17

                      @jace88: that’s ok ..yeah he said he will book it when the takes a few days off work ..thx

                        @TrustNoBody: In all honesty though it's really quick. I think he spent maybe 15 minutes in total including the time he spent walking down to the MDF/comms room. It's literally plug in the Adtran modem into the phone outlet, turn it on, and that's it. He calls a guy to confirm line speed and job done.

                        • TrustNoBody on 19/06/2024 - 16:16

                          @jace88: yeah i think it was longer when he first did the original fttb install cos he couldn’t find the main electric room he needed ..
