I haven't read further down this post, so this might be redundant, by MS have just released a public preview of IW 7 (I've been using it for about a week, and it seems pretty solid, has tabbed browser panels, much better security than its predecessors and only has about a 12Mb footprint (Gawd: what am I saying? I used to write assembler stuff that would be about 100th the size).Quote:

These are Telstra's current Cable plans. The unlimited ones are shaped.

Grunt, I think I understand what you're trying to say, but this isn't the first time you've effectively called someone a liar because they have a good plan with Telstra and you don't.
Richard
I am not calling you a liar. I just believe that you are mistaken. Telstra do not currently or at any time that I have looked in the past offered a service that is unlimited that is not shaped. It makes no sense for Telstra to do so, when they offer a 20GB service for a considerable cost difference.
This is from the Telstra. Not the asterisk next to the unlimited.

- Combining convenient ADSL with freedom from excess usage charges makes this a great solution - especially if you're an experienced or professional web user. (Speeds will be slowed to 64kbps if you use more than 10GB in a month).
- The unlimited data allowance means you don't have to keep track of your usage, and you'll know exactly what to expect on your account.
- Choose a speed option to suit your budget and the main focus of your web usage - emails, downloads or games (we recommend a speed of at least 512/128 kbps for optimal online game play on Play Station® network gaming or Xbox Live).
- You can have up to 7 additional users.

<small> ^ Full service fixed phone plans only available for Telstra customers who are directly billed by Telstra for local and long distance calls. Plans are not available to non-full service fixed phone customers. Customers who do not meet the full service fixed phone requirement at any time will be automatically migrated to the equivalent non-full service fixed phone plan. To check your current full service fixed phone status, or to select Telstra as your full service fixed phone carrier now, call 132 200. </small>

Managing Your Plan
You can move between available ADSL plans at any time during your contract period (or after).
Once your contract ends, we'll continue your service on a monthly basis unless you've already given us notice to end it.
