Well, ive had some pretty kick ass bills from telecom for adsl when my isp
is IHUG

Is Telecom only double dipping in my instance?
Surely I should only be getting billed By IHUG for excess usage and my
jetstart account should remain at its flat rate.

So your telling me if I for example did 6gig of international traffic
I would recieve an increased bill from IHUG, and a $29.95 bill from Telecom

Im only knawing this bone as I've had some excessive bills from Telecom for
ADSL with this account only to be told traffic usage of the network is
independant of ISP related costs.

If this is the case then once you break your cap using a non Telecom ISP you
pay twice - your ISP and Telecom.
