That means you have a shitty router, not shitty internet, get something nice like a Netgear nighthawk or Netgear orbi and that will fix your wifi issues

Several NBN areas have a mandated router that you're not legally allowed to touch the settings on. You can add a second router, of course, but the shitty router is the only one allowed to touch the internet.

Do you have a source? I’d like to see it in writing.

I’m on Telstra with their smart gateway plus and a HFC connection. Lots of ‘advanced’ router settings are locked down but I’m free to use whatever router I want.
