Hey guys
After many years of promises and nothing NBn had finally arrived.. I had signed up on the NBN website for regular updates years ago and never got anything (I would occasionally log on and there was always the same message along the lines of coming soon..) then one day last week a letter arrived stating it is now active.
I'm currently paying $61 p/m through internode for a naked ADSL2 service (by memory I think its 500GB) and am just seeking speed more so then data (its just me and the missus we mainly stream netflix and d/l some shows and never go ove rthe allocated monthly data allowance)
I'm a noob with Pc's in general but I'm guessing the area has been setup for nbn to the node not fibre to the house, and I've no idea where my local node is.. From what I had read it's no use paying for the extra fast 100 Mbps NBN as essentially your restricted by how far away from the node etc you are and the restriction of your existing copper lines if you don't have fibre to the house?
So I was looking at the exetel 50 Mbps plan (500GB) for $59.99 pm.

other providers I've looked at were optus, TPG, iinet, internode, iprimus and this seemed like the best deal to me?
Any comments advice would be appreciated!!
