Que? Geez, their helldesk people really haven't been touched by the cluestick. As far as I was aware, the $10 was a discount that you got for having both services. Back when they started charging for it, the line by itself was $20 per month. Having just cable internet was ~$60 (I can't remember what I was actually paying back then). If you had them together, then it was only $70 all up. > I apologise for this long reply but I warn anyone considering Optus > Broadband to check that they are actually getting the service at the > advertised price with no non-essential add-ons that are a disguised > cost. Ah well, I've never had a problem with them, other than that nasty thing they did by capping their "unlimited" plans. Still with them after three and a half years...
