Is high-speed home Internet access available? How long does it typically take to install it after arrival?
It is widely available from a number of different providers. It will take a week or two depending on the installation. There is a new national system called NBN that is becoming widespread (but as I understand it, also somewhat problematic...). Best bet is to arrange the installation ahead of time so as not to have too much downtime. Many cafes and the public libraries have free wifi. - Jul 2018
Yes, ADSL2 is available, with the national broadband network (NBN) being rolled out now. We noticed no difference between ADSL and NBN speeds. Cost is probably similar to what you'd pay back home ($A70/month or so). TPG and Telstra are two major companies, there is little difference in the service. We go with TPG because they offer unlimited data. Installation can take up to two weeks. - Jul 2017
