Based on limited set of monthly numbers supplied only to providers.
TPG Telecom has declared itself the “highest seller” of NBN enterprise ethernet services, based on market position data supplied by NBN Co to retail service providers each month.
Group executive for enterprise and government Elizabeth Aris said in a statement that the company’s strong performance came from its expertise and “customer-centric” approach.
She said the business case for NBN enterprise ethernet “is especially compelling when 90 percent of all businesses within the NBN fixed line footprint across Australia can now get a zero-cost fibre build on a three-year term.”

Accounts for almost three-quarters of sign-ups.
Aussie Broadband’s growth in residential broadband is coming largely from NBN users “disenfranchised” with their existing provider and looking to make a switch.
Managing director Phillip Britt told the company’s inaugural half-year results briefing on Wednesday afternoon that almost three-quarters of sign-ups are existing NBN users.
“Whilst the NBN main rollout is now complete, ultimately we’re seeing over 70 percent of our orders coming from people that are switching from other providers,” Britt said.
“These are people that are already connected to the NBN that are disenfranchised with their current provider for whatever reason, and so we’re still seeing strong connection orders even right through in January and now of customers that are switching providers.”

Will offer 4G failover for NBN, also potentially cellular fixed wireless.
Aussie Broadband is set to revamp its mobile services and expand into offering cellular fixed wireless after switching its mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) allegiance from Telstra to Optus.
The company announced the change as part of its half-year results, saying it had signed a new MVNO agreement with Optus Wholesale in December last year.
In an accompanying slide deck, Aussie Broadband said the Optus agreement “will replace [the] existing MVNO agreement for access to the Telstra network”.
Aussie Broadband said it plans to move its existing 19,000 mobile customers off the Telstra network and onto Optus.
Vodafone Idea to scrap 3G services by FY22, will focus on 4G for revenues: Report

Vodafone Idea (Vi) plans to shut 3G services by FY22 and become a 4G focused telecom operator. Its 2G services, which consists of the largest subscriber base, will continue.
The focus on 4G is aimed at bolstering revenues, The Economic Times reported. The direction which we are taking is that 3G is not required anymore. It has been continued, only because some people have devices which can be used only on 3G and not on 4G … Ideally, we should be done with our 3G closure in FY22, Akshaya Moondra, CFO, Vi said.
