Yeah, our line is uncontended as well, but we don't share it with anyone :P
We're in a business centre with many other businesses and it baffles me that the owners don't just fork out for a beefy leased line to rent to the individual businesses like that. Instead, there's literally tens of fibre points coming into the building, to the point where they had to drill a hole in one of the boxes in the basement to be able to roll out additional fibre to our office

It's intended for businesses to be fair and is less about the bandwidth and more about the SLA, because for many businesses a single minute of downtime can mean £hundreds (or more) in losses.

The original upstream uplift was a much larger increase proportionately and involved a new technology. This is pretty disinteresting relatively.

Surely that's a little objective? I agree with you that the next-generation technologies are by far the most interesting things, but even just knowing that network upgrades are occurring is exciting to us lot that don't have inside knowledge :P
