Having just moved back to Richmond, in my new place I have am on NBN, previously i was with optus in glen Waverley, and that was Optus Cable (not adsl). In the 15 years I was with Optus the connection was pretty muck rock solid, there was a period where my modem fell over and was getting dc'd but that was resolved.
From my experience, i find very little difference regarding NBN and optus. I do play a fair bit of online gaming and there is no way i can tell the difference in the gameplay. I do also download a fair bit via torrents using a VPN, and again the speed is pretty much the same for me.
I'm on a wireless router here, my pc is around 15 months old, in the 4 months i have been on NBN (hosted by iprimus) i have had a total of 2 dc's and they were resolved within a minute. It required no technical knowledge to resolve (I am somewhat pc savvy) just a reboot of the router and i was back online. So overall i would give the NBN a thumbs up.
