phantomdb: heres hoping the cable plans will then match the dsl plans, i mean at the end of the day its only data who cares how its delivered.

Vodafone will axe the TelstraClear brand next month, or by May at the latest.

Vodafone bought TelstraClear from Australia's Telstra for $840 million in November and chief executive Russell Stanners said it had made good progress merging the two businesses.

The change will spell an end to TelstraClear advertisements and its former customers, including its 80,000 cable broadband customers in Wellington and Christchurch, will see Vodafone's red logo on their bills.

"TelstraClear will completely disappear," Stanners said.

However, he said Vodafone might continue to market both Vodafone and TelstraClear's current fixed-line broadband plans to new customers for a few months longer, under the Vodafone brand, and it might be years before all its billing systems were fully merged and existing customers moved to a common set of plans and products.

freitasm: I haven't decided yet asked Telstraclear... The options really are few:

1. lock this subforum not allowing new topics to be created with all new discussions in the Vodafone subforum
2. move discussions in this forum to the Vodafone subforum

I personally think (x) lock this forum and new topics go on Vodafone subforum make sense for historical purposes but either way is fine.

Let's see what TelstraClear says. If nothing comes from them then I will go with # 1.
