Read this for background.

 

Chorus guarantees that with Boost VDSL you'll get 10Mbps minimum. Regular VDSL doesn't have that guarantee.

 

It was a weapon they were prepared to use in case the ComCom regulates their copper prices too low. In theory, Chorus could've throttled your regular VDSL down to dial up speed and force your ISP to pay them more for Boost VDSL.

 

But since the regulated copper price is acceptable to Chorus, they didn't have to pull this stunt. They're not throttling regular VDSL, so there's not much point in paying for Boost.

yitz: What are you wanting feedback on considering Boost was just a proposal that hasn't come into existence......?

 

Boost looks like a product now.
