iView adjusts its quality based on the average streaming rate it can 
achieve to your PC. On our 100Mbps FTTH connection, it's pretty much SD 
broadcast quality.

Not sure whether this is a *good* reason or not, but keep in mind that 
Telstra/BigPond and Optus refuse to peer with any other ISP. This means 
it costs non-Telstra/Optus ISPs money to exchange data. Hence you find 
that unmetered sites tend to be those that peer with AARNET and PIPE.
