I bet you guys get topics like this all the time, but I'm looking for a bit of advice now my town's getting connected on the 10th December (woo!). I live around 150-300m away from the exchange, and I'm currently with AOL on a fixed monthly rate.
Basically, I'm looking for a broadband service which provides a deal that is compatable with Xbox Live, uses ADSL (so I can be on the phone at the same time) and is 512Kbs or higher. So what are the best deals and what are you guys most pleased with?
I'll be doing my own research too, but nothing beats good old consumer advice/opinion.

Same as any other ISP. Either a Router instead of a modem, and a network card and some Cat5 cables(crossover or straight depending on whether you use a Router or a Modem).
Also in your first post you said you want ADSL, well thats all you will get as the exchange is upgrading to ADSL as thats the only service you can get.
You should be ok on distance, but even though your close in distance the phone lines may take a different route and you could loop a different way. Highly unlikey in your situation as your close.
