Thanks Geoff,

Then I suppose Jetstart will contain this clause:

"You must not run servers, use Static IP addresses or provide any public
information service from a computer connected via this plan."

(Taken from the Xtra Terms and Conditions and Pricing Plans).

So this would make it completely unsuitable for anybody even wanting to play
around and try and host a low-end web site. Or anyone would break the terms
and conditions by installing any file sharing service.

Well thanks Geoff. Even though Jetstart will be symmetric DSL it sure looks
like your rights won't even be close to symmetric.

Regards,
Adam

Jetstart: this is (heavy emphasis) _not_ available for businesses at all in
any way. (Isp information says that you do not install it on a business
line)

However, some similar service aimed at businesses will probably be announced
a few months after jetstart, possibly after they assess this service.

I have no idea how they define business as it pertains to jetstart other
than how they distinguish residential/business lines at the moment. There is
no restriction on what you can do with your jetstart (other than Telecom's
normal restrictions). I think the main distinction between the
residential/business jetstart will be whether or not you are allowed a
static ip. (bring on the gre tunnels)

I suppose the above doesn't really help you, but this is all the information
that has been released to isp's (that I'm aware of :)
