Whois Capti? Due Dilligence is always worth performing. They maybe a well capitalised ISP with a planned service program. It would good to know more than a web page and a store in a mall as their contact address. ... View more

Nice, a 25% price increase for fttb long term customers. From $59.99 to $74.99. Just below the NBN current pricing and the tpg fttb new customer rate. The rumor is in preperation to spin off and sell to investors. Shame there was no service improvement, i.e. G.Fast, or other retention tool. The sooner some one looks at multi dwelling apartments as a service option for fttp or local 5G the better as the current market choices are limited. All opnion of course. Feel free to do your investgations and make up your own mind. ... View more

Vision (TPG) are promoting G.Fast with new RSP's. https://www.tpgtelecom.com.au/sites/default/files/media-release/Media%20release_Vision%20Network%20boosts%20broadband.pdf Still no TPG retail plan. ... View more

As an aside, one of the benefits of FTTP is it is uses GPON (Passive Optical) and this means that if you have a UPS at home the link stays active, no powered elements other than the headend and your home ONT and Router. Much less mainteance and reliable in a power outage. This is one of the downsides of the TPG current FTTB solution as they have very small UPS, more like a power filter, and in a recent power outage we were quickly off line. Additionally as these DSLAMS age, failure becomes more possible as I have seen at another site. So we would love to see FTTP made a solution from NBN for multi dwelling units and not just for standalone properties. Not good that apartment owners get lesser servcie options.  ... View more

Thanks for your response. In reply:   1. TPG conducted tests in selected apartments in 2021 (Brisbane and Sydney I beleive). They then engaged Vision to install the new DSLAMs in other sites. Vision has offered these to new RSP's who seem not to be joining but remaining with NBN. They have not been offered the servcie via the TPG retail business. Technically they know to filter the current VDSL2 17a frequencies of upto 17Mhz and only operate above that upto the G.Fast max at 212Mhz.   2. As noted above TPG have not made an offer for G,Fast. They are line balling the current NBN pricing for the same servcie so not offering much as a diferentiator. This maybe a way to ignite business growth. But you are correct their choice. However as an apartment owner, choice other than the FTTB offerings of both is poor. NBN are not offering fibre upgrades to this segment.   3. G.Fast is no longer the only way to offer upgrades, NBN has national 5G spectrum, they could do urban last mile using this tech. It would be better if they bit the bullet and offered FTTP to apartments.   Hope that clears things up. ... View more

Harper Lane, 78 Inkerman Street, St Kilda, VIC 3182. You can contact Vision Networks directly and ask if your building has been installed. It appears they intend to install in all TPG owned FTTB sites. Currently as NBN is not offering FTTP to multi dwelling buildings, TPG has the opportunity to be first to offer a higher speed tier, although constrained to G.Fast 212 Mhz profile line lengths and speeds. Hope that helps. It would be great to have TPG offer this beyond the few trials they have previously undertaken and put some business pressure on NBN to up their game in delivering to apartment dwellers and not letting the 5G telcos potentially split their market. ...
