Hi guys and girls,
My name is Karol, I just started working for Unlimited Internet and I'm replacing Sam "Sangamathuse" who has been answering your queries so far.
I've never used these forums before so bear with me!
Nil Einne: I'm guessing it's still too early to tell how much unlimited are going to be shaping P2P?
And a question to Unlimited, since you only offer clothed DSL with phone service with another provider and naked DSL, and the the only phone service you offer is VoIP, have you considered how the Chorus UBS charging changes are going to affect you? It seems unlikely you're going to be able to maintain a price of $49 for unlimited clothed VDSL (well I presume these changes effect VSDL as well) or $39 for unlimited clothed ADSL when the changes come in less than a month, but I can't see any mention of the likely future price increase anywhere. I presume you're aware of what I'm talking about which was been discussed here http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=49&topicid=154081 and elsewhere and more importantly, the details must have been something available to you before it was discussed here.
Since so far there's no sign of any of the homeline providers offering to pass on any credit (AFAIK) which from what I've read they'll get, it seems your current clothed plans could become uncompetitive (if they go up by $20, plus a $45 min homeline your unlimited VDSL service will effectively be $114 which is cheaper than some who aim for a fairly high level of service, but not by much, and that's assuming $45). You either need to start offering PSTN homelines yourself with the clothed services or just give up on them and stick with the naked one IMO. Of course homeline providers could just be slow, so it's probably worth waiting to see how things play out, but you should at least warn putative customers of the upcoming price change.
I see the HD web site no longer advertises prices, I assume they are redoing there site due to the coming product changes from Chrous on the 1st December.
Unlimited Internet is also not accepting new customers as per the notice on their home page.
Will have to check back later I guess.
Hi Nil & CloudScaleLtd,
Yes, the Chorus change is affecting our services, that is why we are currently updating our prices and currently closed all signups!
We should have that up and running early next week.
