My exchange is one of the few in Perth to not have an iiNet DSLAM (even though the one 5km up the road does) and there is no indication that there are any plans to upgrade our exchange. But it looks like no other ISPs offer ADSL2 in our area either so my best bet is still probably to stick with iiNet for the time being.

Telstra has decided to bump up the price of wholesale line rental to iiNet. That sounds like extortion to me but at the moment Telstra's getting away with it. If your exchange had an iiNet DSLAM installed, your prices would stay the same and your speed would be dramatically faster. I hope they get the neccessary hardware into your area soon.
