Naked DSL is awesome - let's just start with that. Not having to pay line rental any more is a welcome relief to 100,000 people who have signed up for the service since it was launched in Australia just 18 months ago.
Some people can get fast churn (transfer) to Naked DSL - also known as NDSL. We're looking forward to the day when fast churn is available for everyone. As a a basic rule, if you want to transfer and you are moving from a Telstra DSLAM to NDSL then it can be a fast transfer. If you are moving from non-Telstra DSLAM then there may be some downtime involved. But there are some tricks to avoid downtime, like setting up NDSL on the second copper pair coming into your home. Read on for more information!

This will be a fast transfer. All ADSL1 services are provided through Telstra equipment, so the upgrade to Naked DSL will happen on the same day you lose your ADSL1 service.
This will typically be the case for all 256k, 512k, 1,500k and 8,000k broadband plans regardless of which provider you use. For ADSL1 every ISP has to use Telstra equipment, so if you are on one of the above plans and with AAPT, Optus or whoever then you'll likely get a fast churn to Naked broadband.
If you don't want any downtime, this is the way to do it. In apartments this may not work. You need to apply for a new Naked DSL connection at your address, but this will only work with providers that can set up Naked DSL without you having an active phone line. Currently that includes iinet, internode and Netspace.
Every home with a Telstra phone line has a "copper pair" connected to it. The copper pair consists of two copper lines. Your current phone and ADSL2+ service is on one copper line. The other one is vacant. If you put through the new service application, then iinet, Internode or Netspace should be able to install NDSL on the other copper line of the pair. Once it is connected you can disconnect your existing phone and internet line.
This won't be a fast transfer unless you have ADSL2+ with Telstra. If you have ADSL2+ with TPG, Primus, iinet, Internode, Exetel, Optus etc they will all be connected through a non-Telstra DSLAM. The usual procedure will be for you to start by submitting an application with your chosen Naked ISP.
