You may have read this wrong, Melton exchange definitely has adsl2+....and some parts are already NBN enabled.
I grew up in Melton (for 25+ years, since I was 5 y.o) and have friends who live in Melton and have ADSL2+ internet.
Take a look at this site which will tell you what ISP's are available in the Melton exchange:
https://bc.whirlpool.net.au/bc/
Also, some areas in Melton are already NBN ready (even though whirlpool etc haven't yet been updated to reflect this) and much of the remaining areas of Melton have the NBN build currently underway (take a look on the NBNco website)....so if the area you are in isn't already NBN enabled it probably wont be too far away.

One of my friends only recently moved to NBN connection who lives in West Melton.
I'm thinking one of the best bang for buck plans is TPG's unlimited ADSL2+ plan for $60/month.
If TPG were in the Sydenham exchange I would changeover in a heartbeat...but they're not :-(
Enjoy being a Meltonite
Oh, and unfortunately I don't get to decide on a house that's close to the exchange - I'm just being hopeful....but in reality almost any other location will be closer to our exchange as we're currently almost at the end of the line.
