New company I know nothing about.

But the first time I have seen hyper-fiber offered under $100 per month.

$99.99 for the plan,

If you want to rent their router, it is $5/m for Wifi 6 (seems to be an error wrongly referring to this as the latest Wi-Fi standard) & $10/m for wifi7 (with 4 2.5g ethernet ports), $14.99 one of postage fee applies.

12 month term. Early termination fees apply.

+ $10 for static IP.

Not sure if their intent, but their website advertising offers guarantees around speed and reliability. Incredibly ballsy to guarantee unwavering reliability at a consumer price point.

Interesting; I wonder what router they're providing that has 4x2.5G ports?

I could not find details, but they will sell it outright to their customers for $499.

Wonder if the uplink to the ONT is counted in those 4x 2.5g ports?

If not would be pretty perfect for my network size. Could get both the modern computers (via upgraded docks, or 2.5g thunderbolt adaptors) onto 2.5g, and upgrade the NAS to support it also. And keep everything else on my existing 16 port gig switch.

Judging by a photo on the FB page, the wifi 7 router is this one:

Also, "fiber-optic"? If they can't manage to set up a spellchecker then I also don't have much confidence!

for seamless 4K/8K streaming and online gaming.

under the hyperfibre 2000/2000 plan.

You can't do that on the other plans? I hope people don't fall for this sort of marketing and pay for plans that are much higher specced that what their actual requirements are. Of course hyperfibre (correctly set up) should provide a seamless experience for streaming and gaming. But so would 50/10, depending of course on the number of other simultaneous users.

You'd be better off paying for 300/100 rather than 2000/2000. The first does 300 MB/s but the latter only 2000 Mb/s.

They shouldn't really be relying on GZ to proof read their website for them.

There was another ISP that was making all sorts of claims couple years ago, and GZ picked it apart.... and found all their feedback was from the ISP's own staff :D

It's is rife with constancy errors.

The about page guarantees performance & reliably

Which clashes with their terms and condions service:

Also a clash between the 12 month term advertised for plans and the terms and conditions:

1) How do you get 2000 MB/s out of a 2000 Mb/s wholesale product? Changed the laws of physics, don't understand the product specs actually being offered, or the offer summary hasn't been checked for accuracy (units) by someone with the technical knowledge?

2) So the average speed is the peak product speed at busy times. That's pretty impressive. What's more impressive is the speed experianced may actually be higher.

OK, so the burst rate may briefly exceed the product rate until the shaper kicks in, but yeah.

They seem to be missing an http to https redirect too, with some assets not loading right with http.

Despite the flak they're getting in this thread, it's always nice to see someone making a go of a new business. They seem to be pitching themselves at every market though - cheap 50/10 plans, cheapest hyperfibre, best local service, fastest throughput, and some of those things are generally considered mutually exclusive when you look at ISP margins. You can't offer the fastest product with the best support and still be the cheapest price.

Ultimately, if they want to be taken seriously then the website needs a cleanup. Product specs and claims need to be accurate and credible, template text needs to be removed - get rid of that feeling that your primary customer facing info has been delegated to the office junior to put together without much oversight.
