Re: nbn & my modem
If the house is located in an area that uses FTTC or HFC for the NBN connection you need a NBN NTD. You can check what type of NBN is used in your area by entering your address at this site. The NBN black box is supplied by NBN Co and is free. If the previous owner had a NBN connection they would have been supplied with a NBN NTD which should have been left in the house when they moved out. The modem's 4G backup is only there for use when main link is not working and if used for long period of time gets throttled to 256 Kbps.
