To clarify why the service would be available to existing customers of an
ISP only. Telecom will be enforcing a churn fee for existing ADSL customers
moving between ISP's. This is to discourage focusing sales efforts at
existing ADSL/Telecom subs and towards dial or non-adsl broadband customers.
ihug's offering will be available to all, there may be charge for existing
non-ihug ADSL customers to migrate however (part or all of the ~$102 churn
fee).
