Who licenses Vodafone AU (TPG)

Why plans do not name a fixed network

Nearly every travel eSIM is a roaming product: the profile picks a network by an order the supplier sets, not by the buyer. If Vodafone AU (TPG) is weak where you are, try selecting Optus or Telstra manually in the network settings, and keep data roaming on for the eSIM profile.

Travel plans run over roaming agreements, so the network depends on the supplier behind the plan, your device and where you are.

Does Vodafone AU (TPG) run 5G, and will my plan get it?+

How do I see which network I am on?+

Check the carrier name at the top of the screen, or open the mobile-network settings and look at the operator list. If signal is poor, try selecting a network manually instead of automatic, but only one your plan actually supports.
