Why would phone service be included in home broadband?

It is the only way to use the home telephone if you have NBN. No pair to exchange now exists.

From what I have seen Home 4G/5G Broadband services from Optus, Telstra and Vodaphone do not offer VOIP in Australia.
Some of the supplied modems do have a Phone Port but the Port is not enabled as the Internet provider wants to sell you a Mobile Service as well.

The 4G/5G Internet Provider on the larger plans locks you into their supplied hardware so even if you were to purchase an equivalent model Modem from another source with the Phone Port enabled it will not work here.

You have a plethora of choices for a VoIP service. Or just use VoWifi on a mobile phone.

First of all, this is for my wife who has difficulty with mobiles, so we use home phone, and I want to keep that simple for her. For home phone, that works via the ordinary FTTN router. If I am accessing the internet via the 5G router, how can I also access the VOIP via the FTTN one at the same time?

You don't. If you want a home phone on 5G, you'd get a seperate VOIP plan from someone like CrazyTel and then buy an ATA to connect the home phone to. This is how it's done on NBN except the ATA is built into the router.

So to get this clear, I connect the computer to the 5G router, and the phone separately via the ATA to the incoming ex-Telstra phone FTTN pair? Does anyone do that? Porting?

No. Forget the FTTN line. The ATA connects to the 5G router and provides the home phone service over the internet. It has nothing to do with FTTN.

So in effect the 5G service is including the telephony?

No it doesn't include the service. But you can run a telephone service over a 5G connection (if you provide your own hardware and plan).

They include it as an optional add-on in other FTTP/N/C plans, thats why they're asking.

I just read the WhistleOut article on this product, saying that anyone in the Voda 5G footprint can sign up.

I go to the TPG website, enter 2 addresses that are definitely in the footprint according to Voda site, and TPG says it's not available. Ugh.

Some streets in a 5G area may not have optimum signal so they are not offer yet, give TPG a call to see what they say.

This definitely is the case for me at least being in a dense urban street. Still have TPG FTTB 100/40 though which is dirt cheap, stable and rock solid.

You do not want 5G if you have FTTB. Trust me.

5G is great for those on FTTN but hardcore gamers will still hate the increase in ping – to around 18-25ms. FTTN is around 10-15ms (so actually not that much higher and most people won't notice the difference). FTTB/FTTH is 1-2ms, but definitely less than 5.

You will also get nowhere near your 40mbps upload on 5G unless you are close by to a tower (under 1km) or have invested in rooftop external antennas pointing at the tower. If you are very close to a tower, under 500 metres, and the tower has been upgraded to the latest antennas and software (not all of them have) then you can see uploads upwards of 80mbps.

So it's hit and miss with 5G but with FTTB you know exactly what you are getting and you are virtually guaranteed to get it 24/7.

TPG 5G is not officially available in my area, but I'm using a mobile sim in a pocket 5G router (Telstra 5G WiFi Pro) and I'm considering upgrading to a "CPE" (home) router for better speeds from the bigger antennas.

Anyone knows if there are any Pros/Cons of going to TPG 5G over Vodafone 5G ?
There is a marginal difference in price $79.99 versus $85. Wondering about the backend and whether there would be any difference in speed or not.

Also, is anyone on the TPG plan yet? Can you post your speedtests please ?
