UKonline will also for a limited time give you a £69.99 wireless router if you sign up. To me that says that they are trying to gain market share and they are paying to do so. How long will that price, speed and usage allowance be sustainable? Some questions to ask yourself include, what speed can I actually receive at my address both at quiet off-peak times and during busy peak times. How long will it be before they start ensuring that the service is profitable and alter usage allowances or take other action to achieve that end.
If you look at most companies they give special offers to new customers to tempt them onto their products. Are these offers profitable and sustainable? I think you know the answer to that.

If they're service can't cope with what they originally offered, they shouldn't have offered it in the first place.

It may have been feasable at the time you ordered, particularly if you were amongst the first to subscribe. Time changes things though and no one can predict what the future holds. If you look at cable infrastructure in places like Leicester and parts of London it was put in place at a time when no one envisaged that there would ever be more than 50 TV channels and cable broadband internet was not even a consideration. Time has proved that assumption wrong and those early cable adoption areas are suffering badly and need loads of cash spending on them.
