Like so many things, it appears to be who you talk to and what they happen to know at the time.
>Yesterday, I checked at another neighbours place - they have connected to nbn with Optus, and they have the same boxes as I do, and don't have battery backup.
>
>Went to Telstra shop at Parkmore this morning.
>
>âIt seems that everyone is getting this  power supply / battery backup box installed, but without the backup working.â
>--Â
>â It is only connected / wired up to work if you are a priority assistance person, who doesn't  have to pay.   Anyone else, like me, has to pay for backup to be connected.â  This should have been explained by the nbn technician who installed the boxes.Â
>
>âThey seem to be putting these boxes in all homes, in case circumstances change, and backup is needed in the future.
>
>It seems I have had a misunderstanding of the process, but this is because no-one has explained the system to me or to anyone else. Even the guy in the shop this morning, said that he had learnt a lot because of my questioning today.â
>
>
>âThis all means that I would have to pay if I wanted backup set up now, Â so I won't be bothering.
>
>At least I now know how it works  (or perhaps doesn't work ) !!!!
