<p>Our sell to our customers is still cheaper than the TPG retail price and we provide a much better service assurance and management wise.</p>

Anyone who can't buy Wholesale from AAPT/TPG and resell for the same or less than the retail isn't trying hard enough.<br>
<br>
Midband Ethernet over Hatteras (MBE) and EFM prices are pretty much identical in the Wholesale channel, each product has it's place.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Yes, but the customer doesn't need more than 10Mbps, and by the sounds of it they want to go directly to TPG because its the lowest price - seems everyone else just resells the TPG product and put's their own margin on it (but I could be wrong
here)

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Ausnog,<u></u><u></u></p>
<div>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'm struggling to comprehend the differences between the AAPT/TPG EFM product and the MBE product. I understand that both are Ethernet over Copper and both offer symmetrical speed, and that MBE is a guaranteed speed and EFM is a best effort
product.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">But how do these differ technically in the back end? Is one better than the other? Everyone says that MBE is better than EFM, but is this just because MBE is guaranteed?<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Customer is 300m from their telephone exchange, and should get the full 10Mbps using EFM, what benefit is there is paying twice as much per month for an MBE? I believe both have free installation on 36 month contracts.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Are they both 1:1 connections?<u></u><u></u></p>
