No lock-in contract
$0 refurbished 5G modem^
$0 activation fee
$0 delivery

^A refurbished modem will be provided to use with your plan. TPG retains ownership of the modem and it must be returned if the service is cancelled.

Typical Evening Speeds are subject to change and measured between 7pm and 11pm. These are not guaranteed minimum speeds and speeds may vary. You may experience slower speeds during this period and at other times.

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)

If you need any of these items in your home setup, 5G Home Broadband won’t be the right fit for you. Please check your address on our website for one of our other great broadband plans.

    Does this have the 30 day cancellation notice? Because thats the main reason I skip over TPG deals. If it does, that should be mentioned in the OP as it's a highly unusual practice.

    • jeffreytam on 03/11/2024 - 22:15

      This is not NBN service, so 30 days notice is not applied on this occasion. ( But you could reconfirm with TPG on that)

        The notice required has more to do with the provider than the wholesaler .. not all NBN providers enforce 30 days notice.

    • Jared17 on 03/11/2024 - 23:56

      Didn’t realize it’s unusual. I thought it’s standard. Im with uniti and they require it too.

      Sorry my bad, upon checking the terms, it does mention:

      For contracts other than fixed period contracts, the agreement will continue until it is terminated by either party on 30 days notice or otherwise in accordance with the agreement.

      iinet with the same price, only require 7 days notice. Which seems better option for 50 Mbps

    Switched to TPG 5G from Superloop NBN a few months ago. I immediately started having a weird issue where my phone's, laptops, smart devices would lose internet connection but my TV would continue streaming Netflix just fine. Only solution I could find was to restart the TPG supplied modem. I tried joining the same network the TV uses, had a replacement modem sent out, split the network bands, bridged to my old Telstra modem and disabled wifi on the TPG modem but keep having the same weird issue. Speed has been fast though.. I'm sure the TPG supplied Nokia Fast Mile 5G modem is the issue but I have no idea how the issue has continued whilst bridged to my old Telstra modem. I never had this issue with Superloop and I was using the same Telstra modem for my Superloop connection

  • congo on 03/11/2024 - 23:32

    I will wait for a Telstra 5G deal.

    iiNet have the same deal, not sure if there is any difference in terms of support / call centre?

      No difference.

  • hcl on 04/11/2024 - 00:33

    Is Australia short on IPv4? Or is it just a TPG thing? No public IP seems odd to me. Btw curious if they at least offer public IPv6.

    • waade395 on 04/11/2024 - 00:51

      Most Australian ISP's are using cgnat due to the cost of ipv4 addresses. Some allow you to opt out, some your only option is to spend $10 a month on a static ip.

      On top of that, mobile networks implemented cgnat way before ISP's did. You're not going to find mobile networks with public ip addressing.

      • hcl on 04/11/2024 - 01:44

        Interesting. I had TPG FTTB (non-NBN) before and later Telstra FTTH (NBN). Both come with addressable IPv4 by default, didn’t know NAT is the default in other places.

    • Namidairo on 04/11/2024 - 12:02

      Btw curious if they at least offer public IPv6.

      No.

      Customers have been asking them for a decade or longer (both retail and commercial), and they've been dragging their feet on it.

      I think iiNet had a v6 tunnel trial that got shut down, and Internode customers all lost their native IPv6 when the brand shut down and they all got migrated.

  • Jared17 on 04/11/2024 - 00:53

    Smart Home systems (e.g. accessing security camera footage remotely, home automation and printers)

    Just wondering, will casting to smart tv , google home or Alexa devices work on this 5G connection?

    • Twix on 04/11/2024 - 09:34

      Yeah those devices work on 5G.

      • skuzy on 21/11/2024 - 15:13

        how about wireless security cameras?

        • Twix on 21/11/2024 - 15:18
          +1

          They work if the cameras connect to a remote cloud server like Google Nest or Ring.

          If the cameras are setup to a local NVR they won't work.

  • anti-hero on 04/11/2024 - 07:17

    Is 5G good for playing Fortnite or League of Legends?

    • CHUNITHM Luminous on 04/11/2024 - 07:46

      I don't play either of those but I wouldn't get 5G as the latency spikes constantly and makes games unplayable for me.

      It works better the more covid boosters you’ve got

  • godofpizza on 04/11/2024 - 08:04

    anyone know the replacement cost of the modem if it's damaged/broken?

    • ChmpgneTasteBeerBdgt on 04/11/2024 - 10:21

      Non-return fee is $595. I assume it would be the same for damaged/broken

  • Vish36 on 04/11/2024 - 09:22

    I have a fairly big house. 50 Sq, Currently using NBN with WIFI mesh to get coverage. How can I get coverage with a 5G modem? Would my wifi mesh connect to the modem ?

    • Twix on 04/11/2024 - 09:36

      Yeah you use your mesh system. What's your nbn type? FTTP, FTTC, FTTN, HFC, Fixed Wireless?

  • wakamana on 04/11/2024 - 12:08

    Hey guys, just read the terms and cons, so silly questions about if I use Eufy as house security camera. Can I still use this broadband?

  • sd9sdjfkl0 on 04/11/2024 - 14:17

    Would this be better than a NBN fixed wireless? Seems cheaper for similar speed?

  • jackatron on 04/11/2024 - 14:52

    I’m just looking at this, trying to see if I can define the start date of the deal. I just noticed Vodafone and iiNet have very similar pricing today as well. All the same service? The tpg one seems to be $5 cheaper than the others.

  • randomdude14 on 04/11/2024 - 17:23

    Do these free modems have wifi capability, or do we need a separate router for that?

  • WhySpendMoreForLess on 04/11/2024 - 17:35

    Keep away from this garbage. I have both this plan and a 5G Vodafone phone plan and I struggle to get beyond 3mbps down via TPG from 8am-12am whereas I at least get around 20 on Vodafone. Signal frequently drops out and is completely unsuitable for streaming or online gaming.

    Would have jumped on this but seems it is not available in Coolangatta 4225.

  • Aerith-Waifu on 06/11/2024 - 00:09

    If i sign up to this and move to a difference address after 3 months, is that ok or not really?

    • jeffreytam on 06/11/2024 - 08:24

      No. They will lock your service. You need to contact them and check the availability for the new address.

  • Tafe on 06/11/2024 - 10:14

    It has bee escallated and someone will call me back in 48-72 hours. Cool!

      They sent me with unit with an unprovisioned SIM and can't fix it haha

    Question for anybody who has been using 5G home broadband. Does that mean my Ring doorbell, Parsec and my Switchbots will not work?

    Got the modem a couple of days ago and will only give 4g not 5g, they said a modem replacement is needed… what a bunch of incompetent people like seriously what kind of company is this???

    Hotspoting at home from an old phone Felix mobile unlimited for $40 a month has been working fine with me
