raytaylor: Basically its a subsidiary of Ben Simpson's HD empire.
Our sister company uses an HDnet vdsl connection and it works pretty good so I'd recommend them.
lNomNoml: You get what you pay for, they most likely have a AUP.

They don't seem to have a wall of complaints on their facebook site.

akane: Using UI VDSL at the moment, 7.5/38Mbps with almost nil errors on the line.
First week was AWESOME.
From this week, peak times has come to a halt when it comes to YouTube 1080p streaming, getting about 650Kbps - 1Mbps.
Yet speedtest.net to their local server yields 34Mbps throughput.
Offpeak is alright.
I think they have a huge surge of sign ups and their backhaul might be congested, hope they get it fixed soon, getting slightly impatient. I'm not a huge downloader, I've done approx 60GByte all up in the last 2 weeks according to my DD-WRT stats, which is probably in line for a normal 150GB/month plan.
Hope they fix this issue soon, UI seems like a good crowd and gets back to my email pretty quickly. Been a Spark customer before, absolutely no throughput issues, maybe Global Gateway is just that much better than Vocus?

they price at levels where it is impossible to afford enough bandwidth for their customers - their price barely covers the wholesale cost from Chorus, let alone all the other costs of running a business. I wouldn't expect your service to get better any time soon.
Unlimited Internet are a sub-brand of HDnet, who are known for being pretty dodgy e.g. setting up fake review sites etc. my advice: switch to a better provider who understands broadband economics better (literally anybody else)
You'll note their distinct lack of presence on this forum - that should tell you all you need to know.
also, whilst the Netflix ISP index has its flaws, worth noting that HDnet (which would include unlimited internet) sit squarely at the bottom
