What's the catch?

Can anyone see the catch with this package?
Seems cheaper than our current, offers more bandwidth and static IP (Which is what we need for a server we run)

Erm. So:

I've been doing some research, using their unofficial forums which are usually good for dirt as well as some independant review sites). Contention has been an issue briefly in some places were they had a large jump in customer base. Their response was to increase the capacity of their backhaul network from that exchange. As for the FUP, by excessive they really mean excessive (as in impacts others a lot). I've heard quoted figures of people hitting 820+gb in a month without them batting an eye. In fact the only reports of disconnections I've found any evidence of have been due to other breaches of the AUP.

Contention on LLU is a bit odd anyway.

The traditional cotention that you get quoted is related to the number of users sharing a Virutal Path through BT's ATM network.

Which LLU doesn't touch at all.

Which is why their packages don't talk about 20:1 and 50:1 or whatever contention. It's just not there and works in a completely different way.

Is there any public site that might be used to compare against the BT records you are looking at? Some ready reckoner for expected levels of speed versus distance, post code or location?
