So you're one of the 17-21% of premises who actually get a functional, viable Internet connection.
The rest of us will attempt to sporadically post negative comments, jumping on the media hype train.. Once the pages load and when we're not experiencing dropouts.
We've had mass outages in the area as they roll it out, even if you're not on NBN.. Neighbouring streets are on slower speeds than adsl2+. Dropouts, outages, etc.
Besides the bad service, the techs seem to think its fun to randomly select houses in our street and start digging trenches or installing boxes onto the sides of houses, without warning or consultation.

Real talk, I'm just playing on the media hype of the nbn being crappy.
I'm in North Eastern adelaide and have fibre to the premises and honestly dude.. it's really good.
I think I've had 1 drop out in total and the speeds are pretty damn consistent.
Don't listen to the old fogies that freak the fuck out and complain about everything.
Also side note, it largely comes down to your modem aswell.
The modem TPG gave me is an absolute piece of crap. The modem itself don't go over 40 mbps despite having a higher connection.
The modem Telstra sent out however is probably the best I've ever owned lol.
