Hey Pete,
You'll need a copper line regardless of adsl or nbn fttn. If nbn is there you have to get it cos as has been said, it's a monopoly now, that'll be all you can get eventually.
It's almost here for me. You buy it by speed. We're going for 50mbs. Some suppliers don't buy enough bandwidth from NBN so it can get slow at night. My kid works for microsoft now and swears by aussie broadband but I've already signed with TPG as I've always had good deals/service through them.
I've heard they are trying to recoup their investment/loan in 3 years instead of the normal 10years, hence the high cost of service. ie: it's no cheaper than adsl. A home phone comes with all offerings. I can't find a deal without a home phone. It's VOIP and you don't have to have it but they normally charge for calls if you get it. The phone plugs into the modem.
