My point was that with the current Telstra/Optus cable gateways, you 
have just one box, the cable modem with router and Wifi access point all 
in one. Telstra even gives customers a choice of model, with a premium 
version available at higher cost.

Going to an "nbn connection box" plus a separate user router is a 
backwards step: more complexity, more space, more electricity...
