As to fee payment for upgrade, i can't complain - I told them I wanted free upgrade because:

1) It is not MY wish to go to to NBN, I was perfectly happy with ADLS2 and I did not want to make copper wires obsolete
2) I was an old customer, so I earned the fee they wanted to charge for transfer many times over.
Absolutely nonsense. When the same browser works flawlessly with your DSL, it should work perfectly. Usually they put students at the helpdesk with few knowledge.

Do you have fiber ? Not all NBN connections are fiber.
And it can be a DNS problem. The DNS can be different from your old provider, but luckily you can change it yourself. A good one is Cloudflare DNS :
Adresses:
1.1.1.1
1.0.0.1
They include ad blocking as well.

Another one is Cisco OpenDNS:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

These are more reliable than the privacy offending Google DNS.
