Telecom have launched their retail 1mbit and 2mbit offerings well before they offer their wholesale plans. While I'm sure many have been expecting this, including me, I didn't expect it to be so early.

They've also decided to offer 192 upstream instead of 128k. Not much but something I suppose. Interestingly, they do not have 512k plans

One thing I'm not clear on is will people be considered customers of their own ISPs so the ISPs will not have to pay the churn fee when 512k, 1mbit and 2mbit UBS is finally offered or will they be considered customers of Xtra/Telecom? I.E. They can change between UBS and these plans without churn within the same ISP. It sounds to me as if they should be customers of whichever ISPs they choose, but I'm not sure.
