heh so.

current prices = cheap product, heavy use protocols throttled, severe congestion possible.
£1 mbit so £50 for 50mbit = as above but throttling removed.
£2 mbit so £100 for mbit = no visible contention ie. no congestion and no throttling.

Would I pay £60 for 30mbit without protocol shaping and no visible contention? with the 3mbit upstream probably yes. Otherwise not sure, but I would defenitly think about it. Would defenitly pay £30 for a unthrottled 30mbit tho but subject to congestion.
