This is REALLY bad. Had the same charging been in place in November BPA would have cost me $850 for that month. In our internal cable newsgroups there has been thousands of posts about the new charging, not a single person i can recall saying, on the newsgroup, they thought the charges would benefit them. This seems like a ploy from Telstra to get rid of the 500 of so technical and vocal group of Big Pond Advanced (BPA) customers and replace them with 5000 or so people who get cable with a computer package and only their 14 year old son uses it for surfing the web and email.
