[AusNOG] Telstra Cable - Multiple-Access

[Joshua D'Alton]

In a friends experience a few years ago, he applied for bigpond cable, had
that hooked up, and then applied for telstra cable at the usual $330/month
cost. 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.

I heard recently you are no longer able to do that trick, but... not sure.

Skeeve, how do you go about ordering business cable? I don't see anywhere
on the site to do that?
