Having got a network and Internet connection sharing set up (thanks Bruce), Xtra is now charging my family for "overlapping usage" via my Linux computer. (The Internet connection is on the family computer, with Windows XP professional.)
Initially, web browsing at the same time as other family members was slow; now it seems to be normal dialup speed.
Any advice? I'd far rather access slowly than expensively :)
I was unaware this occurred... It's a single connection. Madness. The answer offered by this office is: "sucks to be poor, get ADSL" ;) Aren't we helpful? Seriously, if they are now tracking NATed connections and billing accordingly, I'm not sure what more you can do. Vote with your wallet, and change ISPs I guess. Obviously, after a phone call to confirm they won't screw you in a very uncomfortable place also. Volkswagen calls on a postcard to someone else please. People not getting this joke in an envelope addressed to the same place as the postcard. Regards, Greig.
