Hey Keffzx,
We can appreciate your frustration.
We understand the wait can be worse than a bunch of no skins trying to be tfue.
But hey, great things come to those who wait.
We can't wait to see you connected so shortly.
Cheers, Troy.
We’d like to thank the installers, like Sam, who have been working tirelessly over the last few days to connect evacuation centres across multiple states. They have played a critical role in helping us deliver temporary internet access to these communities.
