In theory, 100Mbps/40Mbps service (and even 1Gbps/400Mbps) services are possible over the nbn HFC service. Data charges to cover 400GB a month shouldn't be an issue.
Of course, that's just last mile. There's a lot more to a service than the last mile. You will get "best efforts" SLA for support of a consumer-grade service, and likely won't get a static IP. Upgrading to business-grade will resolve some of the issues - but then, when the HFC cable itself is down (let's say a garbage truck cuts it, and resolution is 8 hours), what do you do for redundancy (and you're not thinking redundancy as a service consumer here, but rather as a service provider for your email)? Personally, I don't think there's actually a valid reason to run a mail server in an office these days except under extreme edge-cases - hosted or cloud mail (or full collaboration, such as Exchange Online via O365) services are so cheap on a monthly basis that the real cost of procuring, building, running and maintaining a reliable service in an office is just insane these days.
