The internet service provider suggested its fibre-to-the-basement products would become available again but didn't give a timeframe for when.

Responding to a request for comment, TPG chief operating officer Craig Levy told Fairfax Media that TPG would be reintroducing its fibre-to-the-basement plans, as well as its wholesale offering, "in the not too distant future".

The competition watchdog, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, said in September it would take no action against TPG for making use of what some have described as a "legal loophole" that lets it compete against the NBN.

After the announcement, Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull said he would consult industry on a new telecommunications licence condition, which would apply to all carriers. The licence condition would require owners of high-speed networks to functionally separate their wholesale operations, and to provide access to their network to competing service providers, meaning TPG would need to share its fibre-to-the-basement infrastructure with NBN Co, Telstra and Optus and others.

In December, Turnbull announced the government's intentions, saying that from January 1 this year carriers that operated services like TPG's would need to offer their fibre-to-the-basement products on a non-discriminatory basis to their competitors.
