Same in Perth, Australia, a major city -- and IIRC, Canberra too. This was 2013-ish. I was amazed, appalled, and confused -- a service visit was unnecessary.

I think if you signed up for the massively overpriced privatized carrier Telstra, it was faster -- but any competitor ISP using their copper had that two-week setup delay.
- koyote 6y agoFor what it's worth, NBN Fttp (and maybe other connection types?) is same-day, usually within the hour. Launtel even have daily rates so you can quickly switch to them if you need a backup provider.
