Yesterday TelstraClear launched it's "New Homeplan" packages to coincide with the launch of it's unbundled exchanges for consumer. The packages seem to combine their phone line, PDQ broadband, and Kiwi Yak Pak's into bundles such as "Call Local, Call National, and Call World"

Homeplan is the product set for customers outside of the cable network areas, and has different pricing for anyone outside of Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch.

I've organised to migrate from my existing WSA PDQ plan to the "Call Local" package for $75 per month, which includes Phoneline and FS/FS UCLL access broadband.

The usage packs now also have 3GB and 25GB options, although the pricing per GB has increased for anything below 25GB, which is dissapointing at first glance, but when I realised I was saving $14 per month off my line and broadband access, I kinda got over it.

I'm roughly 700m from the Mayoral Drive exchange, so once I've migrated to their UCLL access within the next two days, I'll see if I should consider VDSL2 and call up to ask about it further. References to the VDSL2 option is apparent throughout the pages, but pricing is currently POA, and I assume they're still piloting it, or maybe you simply get advised once you ring and confirm availability.
