I have to pay 90 quid a month for BT ISDN line (business highway) & Demon ISP. for 64Kbps. certainly not cheap. only takes 28hrs to get down a CD (so getting things from eg MSDN for development is a bit of a joke)
What the bloody satellite (currently our only broadband option due to living-in-the-sticksness) service *should* provide is tiered accounts, pay per megabyte or similar tarrif ; if one uses the throughput (width (500Kbps) or depth (how much one downloads)) then pay for it. To be limited to using only 2% of the thing is annoying. It suggests their satellite system can't cope with anyone actually usuing it for any serious data transfers...
