As has recently been noted on Link, only Telstra and Optus have contracted to 
end their existing copper-based services when the NBN becomes available in an 
area.  My understanding is that TPG are providing fibre-based services to 
apartment buildings in high-density metropolitan areas using their own fibre, 
so those services will undoubtedly remain as is.

Residents in your building can thus choose between TPG using their existing 
infrastructure or any NBN ISP.  Existing TPG customers can stay put, but 
existing Telstra customers will have to make a choice.  Of course voice 
services can be provided independently by third parties.
