It makes more sense when you realise that Xtra and Telecom are not the
same thing.

Telecom gives you a 128k line, and charges you $30/mo or gives you a
full rate line and charges you a lot more.

There were cases in the past where ISPs were signing people up to full
rate jetstream, but on a 128k line, so Telecom bore the cost of all the
traffic. It took a while for Telecom to cotton on and fix the problem,
but you should no longer be able to login with a Jetstream login on a
Jetstart line.

Some smart thinking users did the same thing on their own, paying an isp
around $10 for a full rate connection, but telling Telecom they're
getting a 128k connection, $40 flat rate jetstart. Tut tut tut.
