What TPG Telecom does

Australia's third-largest telecom operator, formed from the merger of TPG Telecom and Vodafone Hutchison Australia, providing mobile and broadband.

Customers pay monthly subscriptions for mobile plans and home broadband, with the Vodafone and TPG brands serving different segments. Much of its home broadband is resold on the government-owned NBN network, while mobile runs on its own network.

In one line: Australia's T-Mobile (#3 carrier).
