Yes - more cables does equal good...
However, given the three Telco's involved... does it still mean high
prices?

More Cables = Good.
This is a pretty good site. Still shows Tasman-2. http://submarinecablemap.com/

Oh, looky, a new cable:

I'm curious about something though, maybe someone on the list can share a bit of history. Is Tasman-2 still active in some capacity?
I had always assumed it was shutdown after southern cross was built, but it's still shown often on cable maps such as the one in that press release:
