I find another part of this story pretty wild- The US ‘rebuild’ was done over dry land, then a canal was dug underneath.

Telstra in Australia were at one stage providing routers to homes with a hidden SSID for their premium ‘public’ wifi.

I think it was solidly isolated from the home wifi, and did not eat into the homes speed quota, but still…

They’re actually a pretty cool company- If you sent them an email clarifying their refund policy first, I’m sure they would refund you if it doesn’t do what you need it to.
