So, I signed up for the $1 Telstra Home 5G Broadband. They shipped me a Telstra 5G Modem 2 for the trial. I'm not happy with the speed (my phone got 400MBps inside, while the modem only give me 150MBps max).

I told them to cancel my trial and they did, they told me they'd send me a return shipping label via email so I can ship the modem back to them. They never did. I've tried to contact them a few times but they just told me the same thing.

Now a few months passed and I'm still having the 5G Modem 2 with me. What should I do with it? I'm tempted to sell it but it's not mine though…

      I chatted with them about this a few time. In fact, I have to chat with them when I wanted to cancel my trial ;)

    Same on Boost:
    Started off with full 5G speed
    now smaller plans are limited to 150MB/s
    Anybody here wanna buy a used Boost sim card?

    Just walk into a Telstra shop and leave it on the counter. They will figure it out.

    You've agreed to a contract to buy or to return it.
    Assuming you are unwilling to pay for it in the future, there is no way I would sell it until at least the end of the contracted period.

      5G rollout in Africa has been slow, those kids may not have a use for this modem.

    eBay.

    Classic Telstra. I know a few people who have piles of Telstra modems, Foxtel boxes and remotes, waiting for return labels.

    What did you end up doing with it?

    Take it back to your nearest Telstra store.

    Or if you can open the unit you should be able to replace the Sim card with a 5G Sim card from a Telstra wholesale provider and get full speed.
