My install was three blokes x20 minutes to run the catenary, lead-in conduit and terminate at the wall box, next stage one chap x30 minutes to pull the cable through my house conduit, terminate, fit wall point, commission and test NBN modem. 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....
