Internet Communications

TPG was established to service the growing need for cost/effective connection to the Internet by home users, small businesses and large organisations (both commercial and government).

The company has become one of the key Internet providers in Australia by providing the most cost effective services, not only in capital cities, but also in regional centres where its goal is to provide country communications users (both personal and organisational) with the same facilities and costs as capital city users.

World Class Personal Communications

Australia’s population of 18 million occupy an area slightly larger than that available to the 240 million people who live in the USA. The UK’s 60 million people live in an area about the size of Victoria which has less than 5 million people. However Australians need the same availability and quality of communications as do USA and UK citizens if they are to learn, work and compete on equal terms.

TPG is a tiny company compared with the USA and European communication giants and Internet service providers who are able to access their facilities. However, the latest member of the TPG organisation, is able to offer communications access facilities to over 85% of Australia’s population at a lower cost in most circumstances.

From its inception TPG has set out to offer the best Internet and Intranet access facilities in the world at the world’s lowest per hour and/or per connect costings.

It was given a head start to achieving this objective by gaining access to TPG Network’s trunk line backbone, Frame Relay hardware and software plus TPG Systems server products, offering best price/performance available to any Internet provider.

It was therefore not a newcomer in providing a comprehensive access topology and avoided the formidable amount of infrastructural set up costs and the acquisition of the wide range and quality of in depth technical expertise required to set up a competitive ‘carrier’ capability. It was also able to utilise TPG Network’s 10 years of experience in designing and operating a bottleneck free and optimally redundant carrying facility that would have taken many years to develop from scratch.

TPG has therefore been able to establish an Australia wide network of scalable line bandwidth with fully redundant and bottleneck free Point of Presence servers and switches.

Providing Data Security

A main concern to Internet users over the past 25 years, since its original inception, has been the fear that by connecting their computer(s) to it they were exposing their key data to unauthorised access or destruction by disruptive persons.

There are certainly security issues to be addressed by anyone using the Internet who needs to protect their data. However, the protection levels and measures put in place are little/no different to those needed to protect data from other forms of unlawful access. TPG will implement whatever level of ‘firewall’ protection a serious commercial user requires either at the users site or at our Point of Presence.

Providing Consistent Performance

TPG has implemented a triply redundant approach to its main Points of Presence implementing three separate, very powerfully configured, servers to handle different aspects of Internet access and processing. These PoPs are connected by scalable trunk lines that can be ‘immediately’ incremented when traffic loads begin to approach levels that will degrade a user’s performance or increase their connection time charges.

TPG continuously logs all traffic levels across all lines and all access points to determine, literally, minute by minute levels of all aspects of performance. The upgrading to ensure that additional capacity can be added as required without any disruption to any users’ access abilities or response times is assured.

TPG intends to set the standards for Internet access and service, not just in Australia, but in the world for today and into the future.

Selling Australia’s Products Internationally

TPG’s Web Site Hosting service specialises in advising small businesses on how to use the Internet to promote their products and services and also instructs them or contracts to design and set up the various components that will be the most effective in bringing about the desired results.

TPG services continue to help Australia’s smaller businesses sell more to newer markets more cost effectively than almost all other media.

Helping Employee Productivity

Reasons for providing personnel with Internet access vary widely but the consensus of opinion is it improves personnel effectiveness in their jobs and provides them with a higher level of job satisfaction and enjoyment.

TPG has made it much easier for Australian organisations to provide their personnel with Internet access by providing high bandwidth access facilities at much lower costs than have been available in the past.

By using TPG, an organisation can gain access to the world’s information sources that can assist a wide variety of different types of personnel at a wide variety of management or operative levels perform better in all sorts of different jobs.
