Unlimited is often just a marketing term, and you are invited to leave the service if you actually use it. I don't really like that kind of marketing, but it is very understandable. A LOT of people out there think they want unlimited but only use 100GB/month.

DSLR users asking about unlimited probably mean 500GB+/month, and one should be very cautious about Xinflix or CIK. Of course I'm interested to hear real on the ground experiences though, for sure.

I would say that any company that implements a "fair usage policy" with an unlimited plan should not be touched with a 10 foot pole, but that's just me!

Unlimitd download subject to Fair Usage Policy

They also say they have "24/7 online tech support" yet there is no link/button to chat with their tech support. "Online" would mean to me chatting, not picking up the phone and calling.

One thing that did pique my interest was they listed a fee of $25 for transfer. I wonder if that means that if you are transferring from another ISP, if you only have to pay $25? Would also like to know if I could use my modem (that I bought) from Ebox.

It also looks like they are part of the beta IPTV service (Zazeen, or whatever it's called).....

Might be worth a serious look, though that "fair use" policy makes me nervous.

anon posted : Anyone heard of this company Xinflix? They offer FTTN 15 for only $43.95 a month with unlimited bandwidth. Im thinking of ditching Teksavvy as their dsl/fttn prices are expensive.
