    An argument (weak one though if you ask me) could be made, that
    wholesale services have ultimately 2 service delivery points, the
    end user, and your closest/chosen PoP - this is assuming you want it
    to use your bandwidth, your IP's etc. So Telstra have to guarantee
    delivery between 2 points, where-as if their only responsibility is
    one point to 'the internet', then they could hand-off wherever they
    want (given the size of their network), so there is less 'work' and
    'maintenance' to the connection.<br>
    <br>
    That's how I would see it anyway, but yes still a very frustrating
    situation to be undercut continuously when fighting for contracts.<br>
