Enta have tripled their capacity in the last 9 months, so are very concious about developing their network, as demand increases. As you say, because of their competetive pricing, they will attract heavy users. A new central is imminent, but as an aid to the current user base, they have implemented an "
anti-loss" tool, on all of their current centrals. When the new central goes live, you probably will notice very little change, in terms of quality of service. TBH I don't notice any degradation anyway, apart from being on a useless exchange, but that's out of Enta's control.
Also understand that not all users are paying such a relatively low price. Most users, from any ISP, usually subsidise the heavy users anyway. As long as the network doesn't become swamped with heavy downloaders, it should be sustainable, but all ISP's are forced with that dilemma anyway. Enta are particularly well managed, and unlike a lot of providers I could mention, they don't cram as many users onto BT centrals as is possible. And there are already plans to further increase capacity "significantly" later this year.
