New Internet Provider Is Offering Faster, Legal Access To Netflix US. Netflix US, Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBO Now, and BBC iPlayer are about to become legally available to Aussies willing to fork out $129.95 a month. Probably legal, anyway. Signs point to "yes-ish", but Yournet is a new player in the ISP market, with the sole purpose of giving Australians an option to access international content without using a VPN or DNS workaround.

They offer one service, and one service only: $129.95 per month, unlimited ADSL2+, HD streaming. The future, mates. The aim is more content, faster. "It won't access your internet connection whatsoever," Bhuva told CRN. Basically: no more Netflix buffering, and no more adding / deleting your DNS every time you want to switch libraries. When Netflix launched in Australia, everyone lost their collective shit - over a million people signed up in the first six weeks. Yournet is positioning itself as anti-piracy: pay for content, 'ya scoundrels, but also get the content you want. Via Fairfax / CRN. Disability Services Consulting - Home.
