yeah they cant make guarantees about the old wiring in your house.
you could ask them when they do the install though to wire a new point in your house. may cost you a bit (like a 300 or so maybe) but would be worth it long term.

the other thing to be aware of with all internet, but particularly NBN, is the contention ratio. Basically even though your maximum speed might be 100Mb, that doesn't mean the ISP provisions x*100 when assigning bandwidth.
in the "old days" this was fine as when you browse a website your bandwidth requirements are peaky - when you are reading a page you aint using any bandwidth at all .
this has somewhat changed with the advent of streaming services where people are constantly using their connection.
What that all means is the cheaper ISPs will quite likely have a higher contention ratio, meaning you get slowdown in peak times when everyone wants to stream Netflix. '
