    Ask this on another forum, the answer might be bigpond, iinet etc.
    Ask this on a property forum, the answer is TPG which is the best bang for buck. :p

    Some parts of Adelaide have NBN fibre to the premise - lucky buggers. :) Received the 'construction starting in your area' letter today from them.

    Internode have been fine with me.

    Internode Have been with them for many years. They are fantastic My Beach house is about to get NBN. Internode will take care of getting it connected to the house.

    True.

    Even with TPG their customer service is decent and response time from engineers is quite good.

    But it isn't practical to compare the quality of service though because it is dependent on more physical things such as distance from local exchange, port capacity, age of line etc.

    I wouldn't know, I've never had to contact them. Strange experience.

    Their call centre is in the Philippines but it is sufficient.

    We got Optus NBN with FetchTV. Speeds are as advertised and the fetch is good for Netflix, Stan and it can record/pause live TV. $70 per month for way more data than we use

    I don't know how many times I had to call other providers.
    Knock on wood, haven't had any issues.

    Assuming you are looking for speeds that are a multiple of betterness than smoke signals from your teepee, Internode should be worth considering.

    And, from many years experience, their service is excellent as well.
