Anyone heard of them? What do you think? Pricing looks reasonable, unless you're a mega-illegal downloader as it's a kind of PAYG package...

From that I can see that a 20:1 1024Kbps service with a 125GB limit will cost you £25.99 a month. I am currently paying £30 a month for a 50:1 1024Kbps service with unlimited downloading from Bulldog.

Will you notice the difference between 50:1 and 20:1 contention ratio?

U can get better if you are in certain areas.

I know that UKonline 8MB service has a 500GB cap at £29.99 pcm when i last looked.

TBH, I'm not too worried about the bandwidth. 1Mbps is more than adequate for my needs (i.e. not downloading huge amounts of films/games/other naughty content) so I mainly use it for gaming, hence the question about contention as that may affect the latency.
