Synopsis
TPG Telecom Limited is a provider of IP telecommunications and multimedia services in the Australian marketplace. Services including voice, internet and data solutions are provided to a customer base ranging from the consumer market through to small and medium enterprises, corporate and government sectors. The company also owns a cloud-hosting company and the PIPE network infrastructure that includes the third largest domestic dark-fibre operation and the submarine cable network to Guam, Asia and the United States.
The company has the largest data network and voice network after Telstra, the largest fully converged voice, video and data IP-based access network in regional Australia, and the largest voice-enabled IP network.
By mid-2012 the company has over 400 ADSL2 enabled exchanges that are also able offer Naked ADSL2+, VoIP as well as providing off-net services. IPTV is included with ADSL2 packages and available at all TPG exchanges throughout mainland Australia. Although after several years of niche market IPTV trials, the company appears to have moved their IPTV services to the background even though other ISPs have combined with FetchTV to offer services. But perhaps with further uptake of NBN services, we may see some action in this area soon.
