Then one person x20 minutes to install and test Telstra gateway.

Mine took 6 months to fight involving the ombudsman and winning.
All because my street address wasn't on their database so they couldn't process the work order.
Then when I did get it installed it only lasted a week.
They forgot to enable the codes for a landline service so it was all cancelled.

Guess what...it entailed a complete new install and yep...another ombudsman intervention to force the work order through.

Now I have a free Telsra modem as well..it has a sim card and the modem works anywhere on 5G backup without a connection to NBN...am eploiting that to the hilt....
