Yup but I'm not that fussed about advertised rates and prefer to deal in the real thing - BT supply Ofcom nominal bandwidth supply of 20kbps per 512kbit customer on home packages and ~30kbps for business custs on that package (can't remember exact but is in that ballpark), not exactly 15:1 but about there. This is the rates at which the margin calculations are done and are the rates supplied across the BT Wholesale network.

Find an ISP that's contending at 50:1 and observe their customers feeling the pain.

EDIT: This contention can be even lower still depending on demand in the areas for DSL.
