It just sounds like they don't handle their customer service side too well. Not all are rough-edged. It just sounds like they don’t handle their customer service side too well.

Provisioning was not automatic or complete. Communications, despite the projected image, have been problematic and somewhat customer-hostile in a generic way. We have observed this with Aussies in general. A DDoS incident was handled honestly and proactively. Good communications in the case of that incident. Good connectivity to New Zealand. The vendor offered IPv6 on an experimental basis, but never delivered. We recommend this vendor, if you can get past the somewhat anti-customer, jump-through-hoops feel. Maybe it's just that Aussie vendors are a rough-edged lot. This vendor has provided good technical service. Provisioning was not automatic or complete.

Latency from North America is not great but the performance is quite satisfactory. The Debian install has some glitches. It wants to install kernel updates, and of course under Xen it's not responsible for its own kernel. aptitude/apt-get installations break on the kernel updates, of course. Tech support is working on this but since it doesn't cause any deleterious effects I'm not too concerned yet. I subscribed.
