[wellylug] Info for TelstraClear Cable users - Plan changes

[Jp Wise]

Yeah, it did take them a while. But they seem to have gone somewhat 
overboard even then.

National traffic charging 
National traffic will be rated equal to international traffic, *as will 
paradise.net internal traffic.*

So in essence, any mirrors they host will become obsolete (you're not 
going to gain any benefit using their mirror, so you may aswell use a 
more up to date source), and two, if you want to know how much data 
you've used. You pay for the usage 'to check your usage!'.  How generous 
of them.

As for myself I think I'll be trying to stick to my current plan. If 
they try force a change, I'm looking for a new ISP, preferably one 
that's still peered, and is prepared to differentiate traffic.
