In the city, even on exchanges where there is only a telstra DSLAM, you can still go with a provider who is reselling the telstra port. I would be surprised if this isn't available outside of the metro area. These are referred to as "off-network" plans when you're on an ISPs website.
May only be ADSL1 though.
Here in Tecoma (Dandenong Ranges), my ISP (Internode) provides ADSL2+. Is it a rural exchange which would limit it to ADSL1, or the 5 km line length?
I assume they're talking about attenuation, which is a property of the distance[0] between the DSLAM and your ADSL modem. I'm not sure if a line can support ADSL1 without also supporting (slow) ADSL2+ -- I'd expect that difference to be lack of support for ADSL2+ in the DSLAM. [0] of copper, not "as the crow flies"
