Finally got it and without any of the horror stories I had read about other experiences with the install process. Although the dude I spoke to initially said to just plug the new modem DSL cable straight into my current ADSL line splitter no worries mate. Luckily while I was waiting for the install I checked TPG's site which said this was a big no-no, so that could have led to a fairly frustrating scenario.
TPG promises 43Mbps DL for their mid-range NBN plan but I am actually pulling ~47 and that's ~4x faster than the old ADSL. But the eye-opener is the upload speed - it's faster than my old DL and ~22x the old upload. Plus no more monthly data cap, and no more forking out $45/mth to Telstra for land-line rental that was only used for internet access. And the NBN plan is $10/mth cheaper than the old ADSL plan so woot.
All worth the wait. If it is this good with FTTN, imagine what FTTP would have been be like ...
