i ordered fibre with telecom and just received my modem pack.

inside there is a notice saying i should give the enclosed patch cable to the installer but i didnt seem to see one. is it inside the box with the modem? its just a normal ethernet cable?

i rang telecom and got a rude woman said she doesnt know what that is and that "it should be there" and "i should be right"

could someone tell me if the patch cable just the ethernet cable inside the box or it should of came separate?

The patch cable that telecom are refering to is the RJ12 to RJ12 copper patch cable (lately supplied in a small pastic bag with your modem). This is the one that the installer is requested to connect the 1st ATA port, of the ONT, to the RJ45 Socket (that the installer should install on the end one pair of the composite cable (sometimes call hybrid) ) so that when Telecom activates the ATA port in the future the circuit can be tested and connected to your legacy wireing.
