They seem to be doing this National Ethenet thingy, anyone knows how that differs from normal leased lines?
Actually, it's not a lot for a leased line. Remember that with that leased line, you get 1:1 contention, whereas it's supposedly 20:1 (although this varies a lot from area to area, and I suspect it's a lot higher than 20:1 in some areas) with residential and business cable broadband.

Edit: Just found this: http://www.newnet.co.uk/leasedlines/

They are charging anywhere between 2 and 4 grand a year for a two meg leased line, so £14,400 is probably in line with those charges..
