Well from the telstraclear website, there is no mention of
differentiated international/domestic traffic. But here are the
figures of these "low" data caps

These are the figures for residential cable modem high speed internet,
fullspeed ADSL is in the vicinity of Jetstream pricing

(note: prices are rounded a bit...)

2Mbps/512k, $50, 1Gb of traffic then $5 per 100Mb
2Mbps/512k, $70, 5Gb of traffic then $10 per 500Mb.
10Mbps/1024k, $150, 10Gb of traffic then $15 per 1000Mb.

Compared to the newly announced jetstream plans which won't be
available until the end of the month anyway, they're not too bad.

The 10Mbit/10Gb plan has been around for a few months, I've got a
couple of geeky friends who are loving it, although they regularly
exceed their 10Gb limit, compared to jetstream, $15/gb is peanuts.
