I rang them this morning to inquire re my cable connection existing 4Gb traffic 2Mb/s up/down plan. The telstra guy said most plans are getting more data the price and speed are staying the same.

Telescum increases the speed   , but not the capacity.
Telstraw increases the capacity, but not the speed.

Hasn't anybody worked out that there is a correlation in a users requirements between these two? Higher speed, need more capacity, high capacity, useless without higher speed.

Oh wait, they have. They want everybody to say, "YIPPEE! Things are so much better! Big Bad Regulator leave these nice ISP's alone.

And then a month or two later all the users slowly start waking up to the fact that these changes are nice.... but only if they buy a more expensive plan."

Yuri - go kick the web master in the `nads please.

Nah! Kick the marketers and the greedy PHB's in the 'nads.
