Yeah, the UI is a bit counter intuitive.

But a mate of mine who went with TPG had a hell of a problem
getting his phone service moved over to the FTTP service, took weeks.

The TPG modem is a steaming turd. Can't deliver
anything like the thruput that the modem gets over
the wifi. I wouldn't want their free modem myself.

> on 18 months $80.00 TPG deal per month seems better than dodo

No its not. The dodo deal is either $60 or $70 for unlimited
at the two speeds of 12/1 and 24/5 respectively. Cheaper
if you don't need unlimited.

Its mad to be including any phone calls, makes much
more sense to use mynetfone/whirlpool voip and pay
just 10c for all calls to landlines untimed instead. That
gives you 1000 calls a month, there is no monthly charge.

That was no use for the mate of mine and he is in Sydney.
