Telecommunications services provider TPG Telecom is facing allegations in the Federal Court by Australia’s competition watchdog, the ACCC, that it engaged in misleading conduct about a $20 "pre-payment" made by consumers, and including unfair pre-payment contract terms in some of the its plans.

TPG has won a victory in a court appeal against an ACCC ruling. But the court’s original finding that some TPG’s advertisements were misleading still stands.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has filed proceedings against TPG Internet in the Federal Court for alleged failures to give access to the Triple Zero emergency call service.
