Is this common sense? - Internet connection due to moving.

I have used TPG service for more than 10 years.

I moved on January 10th. A week before moving, I applied for the service to a new address.

However, even a week after I moved, I couldn't connect to the Internet, so I called TPG.
TPG said that the new area where I moved in is an area that needs NBN box, so they will send NBN BOX to me. 

Three days later, the NBN box was delivered to the address where I lived before, so I complained again, and I had to wait four days again.

I finally received NBN BOX, but I called again because I couldn't connect to the Internet, and I waited two more days to process the connection remotely.

Two days later, I got a text message that the remote connection failed, so I called again, and TPG said it would send me a technician and told me to do appointment.

Waiting for another week, the technician visited today and connected to the Internet in 30 minutes.

I haven't been able to use the Internet for a month after moving, but the one-month fee has already been paid by direct debit.

And I spent an additional $80 for my family's mobile phone data usage fee during the period when I couldn't use the Internet.

Isn't this too unfair? I've also heard that Optus, another service provider, provides free data devices before connecting to the Internet.

I'm so unfair that I don't know where to complain, so I'm posting here and there.

I was really disappointed to TPG that didn't do anything even though they knew I couldn't use the Internet service for a month.
When the contract expires, I will unconditionally change it to another service.

If anyone knows where to complain about this problem on TPG, please advise.

Hello.

I am having a issue.

 

Recently connected to the NBN, internet is all good but I can't use my home phone. It is connected to the router directly using Phone 1 and I have a dial tone. However, when I try to make a call I get a continuous beep and when I try to call my landline number, it says the number is incomplete or not connected.

 

Can you please check and advise?
