I just found a new isp that I have never even heard of before. They are called Kinect. They are a company of Trustpower I think. They actually say they have traffic management between 3pm to 11pm but it's unlimited:

So who uses Kinect? What speeds do you get?

Don't expect it to be unlimited, see:

Looks too good to be true.
Plus i bet the more people that sign up for this plan the more its gonna turn into dial up
and its not going to have a long run. just like the telecom big time plan.

it just means high contention ratio of bandwidth, surely you can manage to download, but only if download is the only thing you do on internet, if you try to play game/voice calling etc don't expect too much from it.

so fight your speed if you can at peak time. Good luck!

When are we all going to wake up to the fact that unlimited plans simply can't exist without either being just huge cap's or being shaped.

This plan will be like the others before them, It'll be sweetish to start with and turn to crap as more and more people join

i think he is talking about Unlimited plans in NZ, please don't compare with US(the international bandwidth consumption/required and a lot of stuff are different).
