Now that Telecom has launched VDSL, can anyone confirm whether those that currently have their broadband usage unmetered (due to having TiVo on their account) will still remain unmetered once they switch over to VDSL?
Currently unmetered due to Tivo. Cut over to VDSL on Monday, and no usage reported yet. Month rolls over on 21st, so we'll see if anything shows after that, but I'd suspect that it will remain unchanged, as I'd imagine the usage meter doesn't care what technology you used to get to the front door.
They can hardly start charging you for tivo data though, when it was advertised as being unmetered. Not unless they have worked out how to divide the two, but it would be pretty difficult to tell unless you were downloading a lot of tivo content.
That is what the current unmetered access is for, while they change their billing to ensure that the Tivo usage remains unmetered, while capturing other data

I fail to understand why you still need the TiVo unmetered these days with large Telecom data plans. I'm on Telecom and my TiVo is not unmetered.. There's nothing to download on TiVo and the EPG updates take up near zero data..
I don't need it at all. Like you, I don't download anything through it, apart from the tiny EPG data. However, Telecom decided to unmeter affected accounts while they sorted out their billing issues. It doesn't bother me either way, but I wasn't given an option whether I wanted this to happen or not :)

Enlighten me pleaze..
It was the deal. Unmetered access for TiVo content for Telecom customers who purchased a TiVo directly from Telecom (online or store) via their Telecom home phone line.
I assume (ouch word) that TiVo's aquired from any other source or not linked to your Telecom home phone line at time of purchase would not have had the the unmetered usage offer.
Agreed, TiVo is the last platform I would download content from these days. Only used to pull the EPG now.

... Still, uncapped data on VDSL.... :)
Had my VDSL installed last Friday - and have a TiVo. Still showing unmetered usage as of today so good news.

Does that mean all usage is unmetered or just TiVo??
