Really? At the time the tech I spoke to said it was $0 thing because the ACCC would get upset if they started filtering internet access (like port 25) then charged extra to get the original service back. Or has the ACCC done its usual "too hard" trick and decided to roll over for the big players? Gah - glad I'm not with Telstra for internet anymore.
