"A user experiencing on average 2.4 resync events (colloquially known
as dropouts) per day as being connected to a “stable” connection. It
goes on to explain that connections experiencing up to 5 dropouts a
day as being “risky” — yet “nbn regards risky [connections] as
acceptable”

"The NBN company is insisting that end users must use an approved
modem, certified to be working by an NBN service provider, in order
for a fault to be lodged.

Despite the requirement of an approved modem, nbn has refused a
freedom of information request to provide a list of modems that are
approved for connecting to the NBN network to the public. Nor can
members of the public request models of modems to be tested for
registration.

This forces all end users to purchase the low-end, consumer-grade
modem approved by their service providers such as the cheap sagecomm
f at st modem line-up preferred by some major carriers. The flaw in
this is that many sagecomm modems have a ton. of. security.exploits."
