Not true. I got sick of being yanked around by NBNCo when I recently moved - it seemed that they were never going to be able to get me connected. After a couple of weeks I "pulled the plug" and went wireless.
There are a few providers out there offering pricing roughly around NBN prices. However, I was up and running that day rather than waiting for months, don't suffer slowdown in the evenings (partly because I only tell people outside of my base tower area about how great it is) and can take it with me on holiday.
Speed are around 9-10Mbps, which is enough for Netflix, gaming etc.
