Re: Is this too good to be true?

jtwn it does cost more to provide.

5 people on 2mbit can download a vista dvdr and ntl only need to have 10mbit of burst available, the same 5 people on 10mbit ntl would need 50mbit burst to avoid congestion.

Might be a cap on useage ?

Seems sense to me to upgrade to 10 MB and charge more for the amount you download.
when that day comes dont expect your speed to be unaffected, be contention hell.
