I have all our family mobiles, office phone and TID ADSL on a business bill in the old system, and two (residential plan) mobile broadband hockey pucks on another business bill (in the new system). And after phoning business billing and having a whinge about them leaving the hockey pucks on the bill in the new system when they migrated our phone and mobiles into the old system to bundle with the ADSL, I now get the full $20/month off each mobile broadband dongle, for also having landline and mobile phone(s) with T$.<div><br></div><div>Funny thing was, I asked twice for that to happen while they were all on separate bills.. Then I went ‘bugger it, move it ALL to one bill’, which of course failed because mobile broadband can’t be in the old billing system.. but TID ADSL can’t be in the new billing system. Phoned back to grumble about the mobile broadband now costing me much more, since it wasn’t bundled with the office (home) phone and mobiles, and the fellow goes ‘oh, not a problem, I’ll just put you through to a supervisor, and they can manually add the discounts, I can see you have all those other services on the other account’.</div><div><br></div><div>So it is Possible, you just have to grumble and grumble and grumble! And make sure they look at all your bills to see you do have the services they require you to have to get the discounts.. If they say they can’t see into the residential system, just ask for a supervisor - they CAN see the residential system :)</div><div><br></div><div>—DG</div><div><br><div><div>On 22 Jan 2014, at 3:50 pm, David Beveridge <<a href="mailto:dave@bevhost.com">dave@bevhost.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.800000190734863px">I think you will find that part is ok, but if you try to get the discount for having a Mobile phone or PSTN line bundled with the cable service it will only bundle residential offerings.</span><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.800000190734863px">

It ended up taking them a month or something to fix a problem when they transitiioned across, but then he had unlimited 30mbit cable. I believe he had a few months at ~10TB downloaded per month before they told him to go away, but it didn't end up costing him a thing due to the SLA once he was on telstra and they were failing to provide service.<div>
