Quality of gaming improved significantly.
Significantly fewer lag spikes for a start.

The biggest bonus is simply the cost. My old ADSL plan was costing me 100 dollars per month for 8mbit down, 384k up with 30gb Peak (unlimited offpeak) download limit.
My new NBN plan is 90 per month, 100mbps down, 40mbps up with 200gb peak (unlimited offpeak) download limit.

I started XIV after i got on the NBN, so i can't say what the connection was like on anything but.
However, my average WoW Latency to the NA servers on the ADSL was 300+ with the best i ever got was 280.
On NBN, i average 190 ping to the NA servers.

NBN is worth it for the download speeds alone. Took me mere minutes to download the benchmark.
Steam is also REALLY good, i never get less 10mbps downspeed and XIV patching averages around 4, spiking to 6~8 at times.

I guess my advice is, if you have NBN availability in your area, get it.
Exetel offers good deals, I've been with them since they started so i'm a little biased towards them.
Some of my friends are on Optus and only have good things to say on it.

Your best bet is to shop around, the plan prices are and service quality is absolutely worth it.

I have called, emailed and even drop a facebook message.

I was informed that distribution of codes hasn't started and that we are to get closer to release....

I hope they get their shit sorted.

Don't hope. EB is hopeless.
Cancel your preorder, get it online.
Code is guaranteed, its cheaper and the only drawback is download speed (Got a friend with a good connection? :P).
