<div dir="ltr">I am not sure why we are surprised really.<div><br></div><div>TPG is going to dismantle everything that made AAPT AAPT... </div><div><br></div><div>Expect them to pull everything they had intercap off Nextgen and onto AAPT fibre as soon as contracts run out. This will put a dent into Nextgens figures I bet.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The AAPT Wholesale people still seem to think that they will have jobs within a year... and they have the support of TPG to continue pushing wholesale services. At least some good people will be available for others to hire.</div>
<div><br></div><div>It is my opinion that while TPG has some good products, I think essentially they are wholesale hostile and will put any direct commercial opportunity in front of any wholesale opportunity in every case.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I've had opportunities that were going to be fulfilled via wholesale, who were told to stop supporting us as their commercial side were competing for it directly.</div><div><br></div><div>I don't believe words anymore, I believe actions and base everything off what people do, not what they say they will do.. and we've all seen what has happened to Soul and Pipe since TPG took over. Lots of staff hired for Pipe were told they were going to be supported, and not long later realised it was all words with no reality. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Btw... Good on TPG for pushing their commercial agenda... from that perspective they are succeeding... I just think it is wrong to 'fake support' wholesale when they do everything to undercut it. Just be honest about your intentions TPG is all I say.</div>

Makes you wonder what will happen to the AAPT tails that are on iiNet DSLAMs?<br>
<br>
Matt, Nathan have you noticed any MTU issues since AAPT have churned<br>
those tails to TPG?<br>
