So one month since the last update and I still don't have NBN. After the debacle where they cut off my connection, I was contacted by a young lady from the "NBN Managed disconnections" department at Telstra. You know if they have a whole department to deal with shit like this then they must have f**ked over plenty of people.
Basically the only option I could take was to buy a 4g dongle and they would then refund me the cost (up to $90).
So now my home internet connection consists of a 4g wifi dongle that can handle 4 devices at once. Every time I get low on data, I have to send an email to telstra and they give me some more. Like 5gb at a time.
The only real bonus is that I'm not paying for the data but they're not exactly giving me an unlimited supply either.
My managed disconnections manager can't tell me how long it will take for the NBN co to come and sort me out as they can't really tell her.
Basically I'm f**ked and I have no real idea of when I will be unf**ked.
I must say that it seems that Telstra have been pretty reasonable though and the villain in this seems to be the NBN co.
Regardless, the saga continues...
