Internode offer naked dsl on various exchanges up here. Good quality 
service although they aren't the cheapest option

The question of its worth it or not may depend of if you are starting a 
new adsl service or not. I looked at swapping across to naked a while 
ago and the upfront setup cost meant that it would have taken me around 
2 years to break even with the monthly savings I would have had. (only 
use telstra home basic package at $20/month no calls so I think my 
monthly saving was only going to be around $5/month)

If you are setting up a service from scratch it would be a whole 
different story and a lot more effective, as you will already be needing 
to pay setup fees
Also If you use your home phone  (and not already using a voip service) 
it will also be a better option as normally the naked deals come bundled 
with voip account
