Overview of TPG & TPG network coverage
TPG is a publicly-traded Australian telecommunications company, and one of the largest internet service providers and mobile virtual network operators in the country. TPG was first founded in 1986 under the name Total Peripherals Group. In 2009, Total Peripherals Group changed its name to TPG. In 2015, TPG acquired iiNet for $1.56 billion.
TPG network coverage is provided by Vodafone which covers 96% of the Australian population. Most coverage is centred around the major cities and outlying regions of Australia. Through Vodafone, coverage is expected to expand within the next three months, particularly in urban areas where 4G coverage is spotty.
