I am unsure if indeed all Jetstream (Original style) arrangements are to
abandoned at the end of this month, or if it is just the Jetstream +
service I am on. Currently I am under the impression that it is all
Jetstream style services (based on my converstaion with one of the Reps
from Telecom yesterday). This would mean that there is a much larger
number of People who have older Split ISP/Telecom arrangements (AKA the
original style of ISP's to sell Jetstream), and that come end of this
month they are either going to be Pushed to UBS via their ISP's or
Forced to go with Xtra as their ISP.

I don't know about others who may have older style Fullrate plans with
non xtra ISP's. Can anyone on this list comment if you have been advised
anything?

If this is the case, then this is potentially a much bigger issue that I
anticipated, not to be a Rumormonger ;-)

Kind regards
