I just noticed this stuff at work, we sell the starter kits for it anyone used/on it heard anything?

"From anywhere in the city I had 1Mbps of bandwidth which was equivalent to about 328KB/sec," he said. "On many occasions the performance of iBurst was better than our corporate WAN so I'm glad to wave the flag for them."

how the hell do they?

10 gig on 256/64 adsl is perfect for someone on a laptop for general 'net usage and gaming. excluding heavy leeching, but you'd want something more heavy duty for that anyway.

plus, they shape you instead of charging you a fortune for when you exceed your cap.

sounds like a winner to me, the prices are MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH more competitive than the prices you posted for that wireless provider that you used to be a part of ben (CCI??? can't remember)

I also have iBurst when im in sydney

iBurst really is quite sweet if your just roaming, or want a perm connection.

Sydney and Gold Coast are undergoing roll out, sydney is just an upgrade where as gold coast is a new install.

In september Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney with another upgrade and Brisbane will be rolled out.
