We were with TPG on ADSL for several years.. (not perfect but excellent tech support ?) ..on their $60 unlimited plan.
We got the NBN "notice to switch" letter and pondered the options as you are.
An enquiry to TPG ..and a little negotiation.... resulted in an offer to switch to NBN with TPG (for no costs) on the 25Mb speed via the HFC already installed by Foxtel....no contract, no strings, quit after a month of i dont like it.
A new Modem and Router were supplied and installed at no cost.
So far is been good (only domestic use, some Netflix video streaming no problem) with only an odd loss of service as the NBN guys continue to mess around in the area.
BUT, i have now been told by Foxtel that ALL Fox cable customers will be transferred to Satelite service ASAP as the HFC cable is no longer available to Foxtel....
presumeable that is to help improve the NBN HFC service ?...we will see ?
Finally, the best advice i have heard for NBN, is not to sign up on any contracts that do not allow you to quit if you are not happy with the service.
Go with a supplier on a monthly plan to enable you to "try before you buy"
