[AusNOG] TPG acquires iiNet

[Nick Stallman]

I haven't seen anywhere saying that TPG will change the business at all.
Why can't they keep iiNet as a premium brand with onshore support?
Then they'd probably still be able to pass on cost savings to iiNet 
customers due to economy of scale.

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.
Sure its offshore but I could actually understand them which is quite nice.
