Not surprised to see a modem/router from Australia's biggest Telco on the list.

Australia's internet is in such a confusing state. At the moment a house could potentially get internet via one of ADSL1/2/2+, VDSL2+, HFC, Fiber, Wireless or satellite and on top of that most telcos are shipping woefully bad modems/router hardware with equally bad, gimped, and undersupported firmware to consumers.

Sounds like Norway basically. Thankfully the local powerco decided to roll out fiber in my area recently, and i think some 99% of the households jumped onboard.

Before then it was all about ADSL2+ (or some such) over a aging copper pair.
