Bummer.

It changed to "Xtra JetStream Plus" in the current and next period plan on
the change over day.

Perhaps this is being rolled out in some sort of exchange ordering, as I
presume that a certain amount of configuration would have to be done at each
exchange on the equipment installed there. Or perhaps Telecom is just being
orderly about the entire process and just moving through some exchange list
upgrading all customer on it as they go.

For reference I'm on the POP (Papatoetoe) exchange, which has the dubious
distinction of being primary exchanges in Auckland (along with RUE Remurewa,
MDR Mayoral Drive, and one on the North Shore who's name I have forgotten).
So there is a lot more fibre routed through it, and it also acts as a hub
for international switching. (And before you ask, I used to work for Telecom
some years back, which is why I know about this stuff 8-).

Cheers, Max.
