That's exactly the blanket approach Telstra was using with their cable Internet services many years ago. I tried to get TIO attention because Telstra was requiring customers of home services to comply with *Business*/commercial terms. But because I wasn't a customer of that service -- who would? -- I had no standing according to TIO to lodge the complaint. Talk about a catch 22.

I don't know if Telstra still has such ludicrous T&Cs, but I did without anything above plain aDSL because of it until the NBN came. I've never forgotten nor forgiven Telstra their stupidity in approach to customers and bad mouth them whenever I can. When they sent their NBN marketing people out and started lying about when phone services would be disconnected, that was the last straw. I dumped them and am SOOOO glad to be shed of Telstra in any way shape or form.
