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.<div><div class="h5"><br>

When does the ACCC step in and consider TPG amassing a monopoly?
Are we far off?<br>
<br>
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>
