Hi Rosemary.
I got a similar flyer a while ago too. I’m with Internode - who got
taken over by iiNet and then TPG too; although they are still
maintaining a separate existence. Anyway, when I rang them all excited,
they said they were not yet able to provide it at my address but hoped
they would in the future. Apparently, whilst NBN can provide the
infrastructure, it is the service provider who actually ‘provides’ the
service.
My understanding is that when Internode, and presumably Westnet, get
around to providing the service, NBN will lay the fibre to the house
part and then Internode will provide all the rest.
That’s my take on it. I am very well satisfied with Internode so I’m
just waiting for them to do their bit. Presumably, it must some
infrastructure thing at their exchanges or somewhere.
Now that I’ve written this, I’m going online to see if they have
changed anything.
Regards,
Pete Smith

Hi there,
I received a glossy flyer in the mail saying that FTTP fibre to
premises is available in my area, listing various isp to contact
about
the upgrade. I checked on the nbnco website and it indicated my
address
was able to be upgraded.
We’re with Westnet (taken over by iiNet, taken over by TPG) and have
been for many (20) years. Home page for accounts and email is still
Westnet. Anyway no indication that TPG was included in the upgrade.
I rang Westnet ( got a woman obviously based somewhere else) saying
FTTP was not available at my address, after keeping me on hold for
several minutes. I checked the only upgrade available on the website
is
for 5G…not the best fit.
So who is telling lies? Do I go with another ISP?
What is other people’s experience?
Cheers
Rosemary Spark
