TPG FTTB $60 unlimited 50-100mbps = better than any NBN deals out there right ?
Yes, my building is within TPG FTTB coverage.
TPG FTTB vs NBN & (Any deal on TPG dealer code cashback ?)

FTTB doesn't throttle as TPG doesn't have to buy bandwidth through NBN Co. I've got NBN FTTN now and previously had FTTP- both were inferior to the TPG FTTB service in my experience.
whats the difference between FTTP & FTTB?
FTTB fibre enters the building to feed a piece of active equipment in the communications room (MDF) , which is then connected to the existing in-building copper lines. The equipment is then capable of feeding many copper lines.
FTTP is fiber all the way into the home
Yes, and as I understand it FTTN and FTTB are identical technologies- they both rely on VDSL2. The difference is that the NBN removes the voice component to increase the potential range (your voice line becomes VoIP). FTTB has a shorter range before speed drop-off as the voice line remains active.
@NuclearWessels: Also, FTTB will have a shorter run of copper, since the copper is within the building only. FTTN could have hundreds of metres more of copper out in the street.
Although some providers are stating it is the same thing, FTTB is just FTTN located in your building. Hopefully on shorter lines of reasonable quality.
Subject to line length, electrical noise etc. Can deliver a maximum of 100/40 for a single connection. Your phone uses a small amount of this. (or what ever you order)
FTTP is subject to line length also, must be with 15KM of a node, not subject to noise. Can deliver 4x1000/400, plus 2x150kb connections.
Both replace your phone line, although your phone line will remain active for 18 months.
Most countries worldwide are moving to FTTP (but a higher speed than ours).
FTTP is not inferior to TPG-FTTB. FTTP is definately better. The issues you may have had were probably with your ISP.
I didn't state the technology is inferior- I stated that the experience is inferior. The current pricing structure of NBN Co means technology doesn't matter as typically you're throttled during peak congestion. FTTB doesn't have any this issue as it's a TPG owned network.
Take the congestion and CVC pricing out of it and sure FTTP wins hands down- but that isn't the reality of it.
I agree the CVC is the stupidest part of the NBN. Congestion shouldn't be an issue on FttP
I moved out of NBN's TPG plan to TPG's FTTB unlimited plan few months back.Service is good with consistent speed and no dropouts. Download / Upload is mostly @ 95Mbps/37Mbps. Happy with the service until now.
is it on the same premise ?
so TPG FTTB won't get replaced by NBN eventually right ?
i mean, after subscribed to NBN, you still can roll back to TPG FTTB ?
Yep its on the same address. We have tpg's own FTTB and NBN(all providers) in our apartment. so I rolled back to TPG's FTTB from their nbn connection.
I live in Melbourne CBD. Had TPG NBN "up to" 100MBps for $99/month, then moved and got the TPG FTTB 50-100MBps package for $60/month and it seems to be much much better value. Performance-wise, the FTTB seems to provide higher and more consistent speeds.
If I had to decide now, I'd definitely take the FTTB again without any hesitation whatsoever!
