RE: Unlimited broadband



Unfortunately the only people in our exchange are BT wholesale so I
guess
all the offerings will be resale of BT packages?

How are O2 killing your link Tim, are they restricting to a certain
downloa=
d
speed? And did they say what triggered the restriction?

Had a quick look at the BT business site Phil and they still seem to be
talking about a 'fair usage policy'... trouble is the buggers won't define
what 'fair usage' is!
