Well, they (or a bunch of telemarketers on their behalf) rang me and
offered to put me on it.  Naturally I said yes (even tho I will never
have that many local calls).  Unfortunately, it was 9:30AM on a
Saturday....


   I don't know why Optus have this paternalistic attitude of giving you
   discounts even though you haven't asked for them, they should know
   that if people want them they will ask for them.

This may not be Telsta's fault: Austel has to approve tariff changes,
and a "flexiplan" has to be voluntarily entered into.  To just
introduce discounts would (rightfully) have Optus shrieking to Austel
within the hour.  Optus' filed tariffs probably have the qty discounts
in them.
