[wellylug] Info for TelstraClear Cable users - Plan changes

[Ian Beardslee]

And further to the below announcement, I phoned up to ask about it today
and it seems like that early next year people will be moved from the plans
with the 1/10 split whether they want a new plan or not.

I think wobblies will be thrown (watch out for the flying toys) when they
change that on me after I signed up for 2 years a couple of months back.

I think I will need to start asking companies when I start buying a
service from them if I will need the vaseline straight away!
