I heard a few weeks ago that TPG is Telstra, to how true that is, no idea.

.... yeah, no.

[bezender]

did u recontract steve? that discount shoulda just kept going.

just like other ISP's TPG might use telstra hardware in an exchange where they dont have their own equipment (i was on telstra equipment for ages, and im with internode... got massive gains when node put one of their own DSLAMs in).

[Madaz]

no need to recontract i just switched to new plan

[bezender]

ahh cool, it should keep ticking over then

[Madaz]

yeah but im guessing if i hadnt of changed plans i would of stayed on the 25gb plan

becuase i went to change plan page there are only like 3 plans now

2gb

50gb

200gb

Not even remotely true. At the end of the day every ISP has to use Telstra in one fashion or another because they own all the copper in the ground. Sometimes it may just be that they dont have a dslam installed at that exchange. However with the new TPG ADSL2+ plans if you dont have TPG equipment in your then you dont get TPG at all.

TPG are rubbish, you would have better luck with an aids infected night walker

[cookiemonster]

Most of the major players in the ISP market have logged ACCC complaints against telstra because their retail price is much lower than their wholesale price.

2 outcomes will likely occur:

1. Telstra will get slammed and have to offer better pricing to all other carriers (WIN WIN)

2. Better deals, companies with their own infrastructure such as Internode, Iinet, Adam etc will be brining out new plans to combat the price squeeze, and you wont get locked into 36 months on a contract as you would with Telstra
