I am wondering what they classify as a heavy downloader?

The customer base willing to pay more for a higher GB download allowance.
Isn’t that just good business?

This discussion suggests to me that Telstra's decision has nothing to do with bandwidth and everything to do with music/movie interest groups whom Telstra is trying to sweet-talk to increase their margins on Bigpond Music, etc.

I can hear the sell now: "You should give us an extra 2% wholesale margin because we're doing something about Internet piracy - not like those dirty pirates over at iiNet who fought you in court about P2P."
