Wouldn't be the first time.

I had a customer swear til they were blue in the face that the
property they were buying would have NBN fibre installed (i.e.
greenfield).

Couldn't find any reference to an NBN build, so I asked him to provide
a shred of evidence to back up his claim. None provided.

Turns out it was Telstra Velocity, so same problem as TPG Fibre.

Unfortunately it dilutes the brand, and the worse-off at the end of
the day because of it.

One day we'll see the real estate regulatory body wake up to this, and
require the availability of NBN to be printed on residential listings.
