So if I was to go to my work and logon on using my
JetStart login and download Gigs then I would pay
and they would pay - there is a flaw in that.

I actually suggested this once and was told that I was wrong.
It was the only logical thing to happens if what people claimed
to be true about how the system worked were true.

Xtra have just confirmed that this does actually happen from
a billing perspective.

Which begs the question "what happens to someone with a
full speed JetStream account who comes to my place and logs
on to my rate limited ADSL line? They have not logged on to
my ISP account so I don't pay. They have not logged on over
their line so they do not pay. Ok - they a get rate limited account
but at 128kb/s that is over 40 Gigs a month and no one pays.

It is a LONG time since I read the terms and conditions of my
account but I do not recall anything about where I can use the
account or who I am allowed to allow to use my hardware with
their logon.
