<div>AAPT was a profitable brand with excellent support and local staffing, but TPG wanted to make it significantly more profitable by destroying the customer service.</div>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF">I haven't seen anywhere saying that TPG will change the business at all.<br>
Why can't they keep iiNet as a premium brand with onshore support?<br>
Then they'd probably still be able to pass on cost savings to iiNet customers due to economy of scale.<br>
<br>
Although TPG's support must have improved at some point as when I got NBN a month ago they were excellent, ringing me proactively an hour after an appointment was missed and checking up afterwards as well.<br>
Sure its offshore but I could actually understand them which is quite nice.

Also - for a lot of providers this 'could' be good news. TPG are quickly having the reputation of diminishing the brands they purchase through cost cutting measures. ISP's like iiNet were prided on local support etc, this could see a mass of users soon looking
for a new ISP with local support, if TPG follow their trends.<br>
