For AU$79 per month (on a 24-month contract), users will get unlimited data on an ADSL 2+ connection, with national locals calls as well as a wireless modem.

In a media statement, iiNet CEO Michael Malone said:

Locating local internet providers

It's really all about value. Our research is telling us there is a section of the market that wants high-quality broadband that they can just set and forget. Jiva is targeting those people — by having one simple product we can streamline human contact and offer a quality connection at a great price.

iiNet does not currently offer an unlimited service. Its top-tier internet-only plan is AU$99 per month for 1TB of data.
