You can't, not by Telecom. Like I said, logins have nothing to do with the billing plan. A login just points the direction to send the traffic to authenticate (ISP) and then receive data. Thus the @xtra.co.nz and @jetstreamgames.co.nz

When you order jetstart, your phone number is added to a database that is updated daily at about 4am. When you login to any realm apart from the free realm (jetstreamgames.co.nz) then your port number (ala phone number) is checked against the list on that database. If it's there, then your connection is throttled accordingly. This makes no difference if you use a jetstream login, jetstart login, xtra or webinternet login. They are all the same. If you notice your connection going uncapped, it's because the ISP has screwed up.
