There's a LOT to be said for not having your email hosted by your ISP. Gave that up over 20 years ago.
The other thing to be prepared for with the NBN is that your landline phone(s) will need to be plugged into the back of the modem. And you may also find that any existing phone sockets interfere, even though they no longer work, causing less than optimal speed. Be prepared to get a tech out to rewire and simplify the cabling after the NBN is installed. This is where the local support from AussieBB was useful, as they were very helpful in running tests. Note that I have fibre to the node, and some of this may not apply to other delivery technologies.
