TPG only got their business/wholesale services, not consumer which
was iiNet.<br>

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>
