[plug] Telstra's ADSL pricing is available

[James Bromberger]

Hello Arie,

Thanks for your message. It all looks very good so far, apart for the delay here in Western Australai while it is rolled out in the rest of the country!

One question however, is the Unlimited** with respect to the Freedom accuounts. It says that this is not time or capacity capped, however, somewhere in your use policy it states there is a limit. If I were to use the available bandwidth for a freedom account continuously, when would Telstra consider capping this? What further information defining what limits are placed on "Unlimited**" can you please give me, in addition to the vaugness uotlined in the Acceptable Use Guidelnie. Surely there is some Capcaity download figure Telstra has in mind that is somwhere beyond the definition of "Unlimited**" being used here.

Also, I am interested in connecting a router to an ADSL modem. What is this "per user" item. I would want telstra to carry my packets, not my users. 

Can you please also tell me if the IP addresses allocated with this service are:
	(a) fixed or dynamic
	(b) available in subnet gruopings


Thanks for your time,

  James Bromberger
