Have faith Col
My connection was a literal fairytail.
We chose our house purchase partly on seeing the green fibre being strung though the old Tel$tra pits - this was before the lesser "options" were offered to many unfortunate localities...
I logged our interest with an RSP, then called them 45 seconds after they sent the "available in your area" email. Booked an install for ASAP (2 weeks later). 2 companies/installers were involved. the 1st Mob appeared perfectly on time, and found that my exit point was NOT in the pit in front of my house. Rather than fight with NBN Co. to fix it in software, they simply ran the fibre 100m up the street to the correct input. My old copper phone line was a perfect draw cable into the house.
Another dude showed up 15mins after the last lot left (like tag team wrestling), and mounted the ONT, backup box etc. He fiddled with some details on an iPhone app, and the light went green. As I'd pre-configured the router from a welcome email by the RSP, it was good from the get go.
I hope your experience is just as painless
