I disagree. Using an antiquated medium such as copper and ADSL2+ is asking for trouble. There are heaps of people who can't get internet access because of lame excuses such as "an exchange is full", "you are too far from an exchange", "the is not enough backhaul" etc....
Is this day and age, high speed internet is needed.

This is wrong as well. If you are in the rollout areas then you will get NBN regardless if you have an existing residence or are building a new one.

I'm in Salisbury North and have cable internet with Telstra. Salisbury Downs is also listed as a cable area. You can get 100Mbit Cable with Telstra if you choose too. I have the 30Mbit version and download at 3.8-4.0 MB/s (megabytes per second)
As we already have access to cable, I'd say we will be waiting a little while for the NBN.
