A big thanks to everyone who offered advice. Bottom line is: A minimum bandwidth increase from 512 to 1500. A few changes with iPhone - must have all included ie local calls ( 18 c v 20c) as well as line rental (about $3 per month more), quota reduced from 12 mb to 10 mb )won't affect me).
Existing router/modem is ok. Make sure you ask: 1. Is my exchange DSLAM enabled? 2. Are there are ports available at that exchange? 3. Is there is no physical barrier to me using those ports at that exchange? 4. Will there be any delay (Telstra or otherwise) in getting me switched Over?
