Change from nbn FTTN to FTTP or FTTC to FTTP (select locations) and get a bonus $250 credit (new customers) or bonus $100 credit (existing customers).

Not bad if you can get the $250 credit. No lock-in contract but TPG and iiNet requires 30 days cancellation notice.

Interim service
While you are waiting for your upgrade installation, we will provide you with an interim NBN100 service (critical information summary). You will be required to register for this interim service at the same time as registering for the Upgrade Offer.

Check your address here.

      About a year too late though.

      When I switched to Launtel from TPG at roughly the same time last year, TPG had a manager call me, asking me to stay because I was a long time customer since 2007. I told him there was nothing that he could do to make me stay, as I wanted FTTP bad, like been literally waiting for it for 10 years.

      If they joined the free FTTP upgrade bandwagon sooner I probably would have stayed.

    You'll need to upgrade to their Superfast plan at $95/month (for the first 6 months)

        I think copper is notorious for this as the pit fills up - so Fttn probably. In most suburbs the hfc is strung on the poles.

          Yeah my hfc is decent but all underground. I am on a 1000 connection but drops down to around 300 during peak hour. But suspect that's more provider than hfc being limited. It works for me as my wife and I work from home and during work hours it's getting full speed. Only thing is we need faster uploads but it's just not economically viable to go on nbn business ethernet.

          My kid constantly complains about ping when gaming though.

        FTTC and then 2 spans of copper to my house. Whenever moderate-hard rain would start it would knock me out for about a minute, NBN had no idea why so jumped when I could upgrade and no issues with dropouts at all since

    I upgraded to fttp 3 months ago from fttn, and I believe the connection is fine,but my modem is acting weird. 5G lost signal every couple days(back to work after reboot) , 2.4g become extremely slow(unable to open a website). When that happen, the ethernet still works fine. Maybe I need to get a new router/modem. This never happened when I was on fttn.

    • Twix on 22/10/2023 - 17:28

      VDSL2 modem and router all-in-ones are not needed on FTTP. You only need to purchase a router.

              @raj76: Amazon Eero router is capable of 100/20 and you plug it into the FTTP NTD that gets installed.

              There is a TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro Wi-Fi 6E router. For a 1-pack $327.90, 2-pack $499 delivered @ Amazon AU. Check The Good Guys if you have access to a commercial account. Asus has the Asus RT-AXE7800 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E Router for $605. Either the Asus or TP-Link router replaces the Amazon Eero router.

        • SimAus007 on 23/10/2023 - 07:26

          Then just use that. You just won't be using the DSL part of it and usinng it purely as a router.
          Simply plug a network cable from the Fibre NTD that will be installed into the WAN port and it'll work.
          All recent modem routers or routers can be used on fibre NBN.
          Generally ISP supplied ones aren't locked down anymore and will have a WAN port.
          Just keep in mind WiFi 6 & 7 are far more efficient/better performance for new devices.

          • ce5himm on 23/10/2023 - 07:55

            @SimAus007: That's what I am doing right now. However I am sick of the wifi disconnection issue and thinking of getting a new router. Since mesh is not necessary, I am considering the tplink axe75 router. so far in my house only 2 mobiles support 6E, everything else are still 5 and below. Is it overkill?

  • bend95 on 26/11/2023 - 16:13

    Does TPG charge you a penalty if I downgrade back to 100/20 or 50/20 after the fiber upgrade with 6 months? I read somewhere that NBN will charge the ISP but seems like some ISP will absorb the fee while some will pass it on. Doesn’t seem like this is mentioned in the TPG fiber upgrade term but I thought I should just check and make sure I didn’t miss anything important before taking the offer.

    • Twix on 26/11/2023 - 16:22

      I don't think TPG charges the penalty. Get TPG to confirm it.

  • morebunnings on 11/12/2023 - 19:02

    Just got a letter in the mail about this.

    They're currently offering $30/month off plans for 6 months too.

  • dan76n on 16/12/2023 - 20:04

    So if i was to sign up with TPG for the NBN100 plan at $79.99 per month for the first 6 months then $89.99 going forward I'd get a $250 credit so essentially the first 12 months cost would work out on average $64.14 per month? ($79.99 x 6)+($89.99 x 6) -($250)/12.
    Is this the best value option at the moment?
    And how long does the FTTP upgrade take?

    • Twix on 16/12/2023 - 20:26
      +1

      $250 TPG credit gets applied after FTTP is activated. 100/20 $79.99/m x 6 = $479.94 - $250 TPG credit = $229.94. Swap ISP after 6 months eg. Superloop 100/20 $69/m for 6 months.

      FTTP can be completed in a couple hours. At worst multiple appointments during a month.

          Quick question about the rebate - what if the modem is worth less than $100? I am looking at a router that is only $59, would that give me a $100 credit, or only $59? They aren't very specific on this

    How long do they normally take to activate the service?

      It took exactly 1 business day (in my case) to activate the interim FTTN service - didn't have to change any PPP details (it ignored/accepted previous details).
      nbn FTTP install scheduled for second half of January.
      $100 Modem rebate just submitted.

        How did you go with the modem rebate? I am looking at a router that is only $59, would that give me a $100 credit, or only $59? They aren't very specific on this
