TPG home phone with multiple outlets/sockets

[sk0690]

Hi

I am thinking of switching my home phone to TPG service; currently, I am with Telstra and have 3 working outlets/sockets from one line (one number).

Does anyone know (or have switched to TPG home phone service) that they can use multiple outlets/sockets with TPG ?

Thanks in advance.

If you already have an in place Telstra service, TPG won't even set foot on your premises.

Do you have a DSL service as well?

Cheers Ride.

Are both having the same number (one line in) ? And did you have to re-run the wire for the outlets or just re-used the existing wire ?

I am currently having ADSL 2+ with TPG, for quite a few years now, and thinking about home phone and ADSL package they offer

If you've already got the ADSL with them there's nothing to even think about. Give Telstra the flick on the landline and you'll get the whole lot for $79/pm

If you supply your own modem (which you obviously will since you're already with them) you can get it all on a 6 month contract (with modem is minimum 12month).

That's exactly what I am thinking but I am currently have 3 outlets from the existing number and just wanted to find out if they will work when I do the switchover. Do you know of any technical issues ?

All that happens when you change the provider from Testra to TPG is someone different sends you a bill, no physical difference to your line.

Same as changing electricity providers, half your lights don't stop working do they?

No absolutely none. If your ADSL was with Telstra you could have potentially had an issue if the TPG DSLAM at your exchange was full and you couldn't change over, but since you're already with TPG for the ADSL the phone line part of it is a no brainer.

That's what I thought but TPG help desk told me that they will only guarantee the service to the first outlet in the house and the other outlets will be my problems. Hence I am asking here for any experiences since I will be stuck with TPG for at least 6 months when I do switchover.

Thanks mate. That would give me more confident in switching over.

Just wanted to be sure :)

Sweet! Thank you Ride

Oh, one more question, was your switchover long time ago ?

All service providers have to guarantee to the first outlet. Telstra would have been the same.

That is because the first socket is the network boundary in a premises without a NBP such as mdf or ntd. All other cabling/sockets is your problem. No difference wether you use Telstra or any other provider.
