Here's a better article:

The Static IP seems to be up to the ISP.
The bandwidth cap is an average per user, so ISP's could either set up a
variety of plans, or just risk it...

Still, seems like Telecom is re-adjusting the playing field to suit it's
own internal model, rather than providing a blank canvas for ISPs. What
are the odds that the CC (which hasn't ratified Telecom's plans, and
must do so), will just accept Telecom's plan, since "Telecom know
best".... <sigh>
