| 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.

No ... that's just it ... it isn't.
My Customer has ADSL with WorldNet, but Calls with Telstra Clear.

I would have agreed with you based on the wording in the letter, but in
some ways it contradicts itself (I think) in that it opens with "As a
customer on Telstra Clear for HighSpeed Internet" ... and then says
"Currently, you do not use paradise.net (TelstraClear's ISP) to access
your HighSpeed Internet Service."

Im not full up on TelstraClears internet offerings, but I would have
thought the only "Highspeed Internet" they offer is through paradise.net
... ?

| 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| Full rate WSA Jetstream will probably be withdrawn in the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
