kngjse: I wish I didn't just sign up to a 12 month contract. The prices are insanely good with a price difference compared to my current ISP of $60! (although I'm not currently on unlimited and I have a phone line bundled)
The $49 connection fee seems a bit high considering most other ISP's don't actively charge this.

chevrolux: Charging for voicemail, call waiting and caller ID on a VoIP line is a bit dirty. And a one time 'setup charge'?!
In saying that though, nice pricing on the broadband connections!!

Just so you don't misunderstand, you have to have a POTS line (~$50) from another provider in order to buy the clothed broadband from Unlimited.kngjse: The $49 connection fee seems a bit high considering most other ISP's don't actively charge this.
Yeah, but most ISPs tie you down with a contract.
hio77: Is the vdsl a full vdsl installation like most isps? (eg includes a master filter) or no filter like bigpipe do?
Detruire: To add to the previous mention of your address checker being broken: it shows my parents' address as not being able to get any service (they have DSL now and are in a Northpower fibre area), and it doesn't even show my address at all (Chorus fibre area.)
Lurch: Wow $10 cheaper than the Vodafone deal... no contracts? Just one more month and I can switch :-)
Global mode also sound interesting, will that be included in the plans or additional, as that would save me further money :-)
Lurch: Just worked out it's actually $5 cheaper :-/ So not much difference, jumped the gun a little.
ripdog: Wow, looks nice. Couple things I want to know:
Ipv6 plans?
Wanganui when?
Cheers. :)

Hio77, Again with no contracts we can't afford to provide people a master filter, so yeah it's like Bigpipe with all BYO hardware. In saying that though you won't really need a master filter unless you have more than 5 phone jacks or any monitored alarms or anything your VDSL will work fine without one.

Any comments made are personal opinion and do not reflect directly on the position my current or past employers may have.
NonprayingMantis: it's cool what you are doing, but you may want to check with your lawyers about a few things as some of your statements are misleading or flat out incorrect.
Your website heading says:
No limits
No contracts
Just Broadband
1) you do have limits.
your speed is limited by the technology you use (ADSL/VDSL/UFB),
where you can provide broadband is limited by where there is existing infrastructure.
You also have a fair use policy and traffic management which can limit how people use their broadband. If you are talking about unlimited data, you should make that clearer before the comcom come knocking at your door.
2) you do have contracts. If somebody agrees to buy broadband from you at $x per month, and you agree to provide broadband at $x/month, that is most definitely a contract. What you should be saying is something like 'no term contracts' or 'no 12 month contracts'. (in fact since you require 7 days notice, you do actually have a term contract too, it's just a very short term).. You do say 'no temr contract' later, but that doesn't matter. Your main message on the header is incorrect.
3) Just broadband. Quite ambiguous. if you mean 'only broadband' (like Bigpipe say 'nothing but broadband' because that's the only thing they sell) that isn't true for you, since you also sell VOIP and all the features that go with it. If by 'just' you mean 'fair' then that's possibly ok, but how people might interpret it is what you need to be careful of. Having ambiguous statements like that is very risky as the courts don't care what your interpretation is, they care what the 'average' person's interpretation is.
Lastly, I've seen your ads pop up on geekzone and they don't state that a phoneline is required with your $39/month plan. Only once you get into the detail does that become more obvious. That is risky too since it can easily be seen as a bait and switch ad, which may net you a pretty significant fine (personally and as a business) under new legislation.

Ild argue your views on the need for a master filter is misguided, they do still make a sizeable difference.
Still, to hold the price point you do, understand your reasoning for not going down that route.
