I am looking at moving to EXETEL, but the thing that really scares me the most is all the links i have with my emails from TPG, accounts, software and forums.....

Bad news, telstra runs the exchange and dictates how many adsl 2 ports are available and are not interested in upgrading their infrastructure. I have a friend down the road and telstra would only give them dialup and told them to get a wireless account $100 per mth and only a couple of gigs download. I have been on TPG adsl 2 "offnet" for a few years and until recently have been getting speeds of 8000kbs 200 gig per mth for $59.00.
