I was thinking of going with zen business, the 79.99 a month package which they say is unlimited and no traffic shapeing or port blocking involved. I know its expensive but I am prepared to pay that if A, its truly unlimited and B, they dont block ports or slow me down because am rapein their bandwidth.

The reason I am moving is with bt biz which they just recently changed to bt total biz was magic to start with and I mean magic, I had no problems for the first 6 or so months, and then all of a sudden it gets changed to bt total and p00 starts to go downhill, I was downloading massive amounts to start with and no matter what time of the day I would never go lower in speed than about 6mbit and that was at peak times, the rest of the times I would be getting close on 7000kbps download speeds when doing tests, all of a sudden that just stopped and heavy traffic shapeing came into being overnight and some months I would download a fair amount then the next month I would be lucky to hit 30gb, the dude on the phone from bt said last month or this month so far I had downloaded 67gig and the previous month was 30 odd and for them to rape me as much as they were doing I just couldnt put up with it any longer, I would be lucky to get my fullspeed for more than 6 hours aday and that was from say 6am til maybe 12pm if I was lucky.
If zen truly are unlimited and dont block/shape p2p and even http traffic like bt now do then as I say I dont mind paying as long as I get left alone to do what I want as it seems no ISP caters for hardcore internet users anymore and they all have like 50gig limits unless you are lucky enough to live in an area with a 24mbit download capability, to which I dont and 8mbit for phone lines and 14 or 16 via sky is the max. at the moment I pay 40 odd quid a month for bt biz and I now see that since they introduced bt total businness broadband instead of what it was called before, the price has went down by 15 quid, so that can only mean 1 thing, lower costs = worse product, and the funny thing is, they havent made my costs go down, they still charge me the same £45 inc tax.
So, do you think Zen is worthy of my bandwidth rapein ?
