They made a marketing plan to offer a service that was cheaper than cost to try and cement themselves as the biggest ISP in Australia.<br /><br />If you were lucky enough to take advantage of it , you did well , but it was never going to last. TPG users will be paying the price everyone else pays.<br /><br />A word of warning to those churning to other providers , avoid signing up with any small companbies reselling services for the Veridas network. They are cheap and nasty and you will regret it.
