iiNet unveils Jiva
One Plan. One Bill. Always.

19 August 2013: iiNet, the leading challenger in the national broadband market, today announced the launch of Australia’s newest ISP brand, Jiva, to meet growing consumer demand for a simple, high-value Internet service.

Jiva will be ready for new customers from September 2013, selling under the simple proposition: “One plan. One bill. Always.”

For $79 per month on a 24-month plan, Jiva customers will get an ADSL2+ broadband connection, unlimited broadband data, all local and national landline calls, and a wireless modem.

iiNet CEO Michael Malone said the Jiva initiative is designed to attract new customers to the group who are looking for a simple, all-in-one connection, and don’t want to compromise on quality.

“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,” he said.

Though offering an inexpensive service, Michael said Jiva was definitely not ‘budget’ iiNet.

“Jiva is not about cost. It’s about simplicity,” he said. “Over the next 12 months I want Jiva to prove that an innovative, high-quality Internet and phone offering can successfully compete with the low-value offers in the traditional ‘all you can eat’ space.”

Jiva customers will sign up online as part of the brand’s streamlined self-service approach and the company will have its own team of support staff to help out if customers need it.

“It’s a simpler product offering, so Jiva customers will need less support and, of course if they need help our staff will be right there for them. Jiva support staff have been selected from within iiNet’s award-winning customer service team and customer interactions will meet the same high service standards we insist on across the business,” Malone said.
