Upstream? I don't run any servers and don't use torrents. My current upstream usage is < 5% of downstream and a lot of that is because I have programs uploading weather satellite pictures and weather station data 24x7 to a website I run.

Then there is the 40GB cap that was mentioned above but has since been deleted which I comfortably exceed every month. I think the 40GB is correct as I've seen a complaint elsewhere about it (this is the supposedly unlimited deal not the pointless 20GB one).

I rarely watch TV so neither Sky nor VM offerings interest me.

Then finally there is the minor problem that Infinity isn't available in my area and no date has been set for when it will be.

The only use I am likely to have for BT Infinity is for blagging a better deal from VM
