Prior postings are about a letter from TelstraClear to users that are being
billed by TelstraClear for Telecom ADSL.
You will be receiving a letter from Telecom as they bill you for ADSL.

Yes and Yes.

You are the typical Jetstream Partnering Program (JSPP) User.

JSPP has been discontinued, you need to choose a new service, contact your
ISP.

Your (current Telecom ADSL) choices are WSA Jetstream which is (more or
less) a change of billing model. (move the $61.88+GST Jetstream 600 amount
from your Telecom bill to your ISP bill). Not all ISPs will support this
model, mainly due to credit risk and lack of margin.

Full rate WSA Jetstream will probably be withdrawn in the near future (i.e.
everyone will be rate limited to 128k upload speed). This is (apparently)
due to technical limitations (i.e. cable cross talk at the exchange end).

Your other choice is UBS i.e. 256k/128k, 1mb/128k, 2mb/128k.

Cheers

BG
