Hi all,

Telecom seems to have changed the jetstart + plan. After publicly saying
they would "Grandfather" and keep existing customers "as is" in
computerworld earlier this year, at the 2mbit 192kps up rate. They have
changed the plan to only be 128kbit up. I have confirmed this with
another user of the plan.

His contact with Telecom seems to be that they are defending the move as
"Keeping in Compliance" with the com com agreement.

I have contacted Consumer Affairs about this, as I believe it is in
breach of the Consumer Gurantees Act as well as the Fair Trading act (in
that it is an issue of measure and weight).

I don't know about others, but I would not have switched to ADSL from
cable knowing that the upstream would shrink. I rely on that extra
64kbit for visitors to my site for both research and non profit use.

I would be interested to hear from others on the plan, who are willing
to make a submission to the Consumer affairs people.

Evidence of discussions with Telecom and your ISP over the matter is
useful.

Kind regards

Joel W
