OK, I am DONE with Telstra.

Let me write down my timeline for getting a cable Internet.

6 May - Placed cable Internet order, got order received email.

13 May - No any other follow up email received, contacted support via the app, they were saying the order isn't picked up by the System (?? system???). Start on it now, received the confirmation emails

20 May - No modem shipping notification still, asking the support, say covid delay, no eta

22 May - No shipping, no eta

23 May - No shipping, no eta

24 May - Surprisingly received the cable gateway + modem, cannot activate the gateway, order status "delivery - in progress"

26 May - asking support why cannot activate, they submit a ticket to speed up the order, order status "delivery - in progress"

28 May - Asking the support the progress, they lodged another INC ticket, order status "delivery - in progress"

30 May - Call tech support, providing mac address, say within 24 hours, order status "delivery - in progress"

3 June - Call tech support, submitted a ticket for the mac-address update, say 48 hours, order status "delivery - in progress"

9 June - Call tech/activation support, say still in progress of mac updating, 48 hours again, order status "delivery - in progress"
