Their site says 16.99 and 24.99.

Are they doing some sort of deal? Or is the price coming down?

from their FAQ:

"A3: There are two possible cut off situations. If your
computer has been inactive for 15 minutes or more, or you
have been surfing online for 2 hours. (If you would like to
continue surfing after hours, you can reconnect
immediately."

Doesn't sound "unlimited" to me...

But it doesn't really say that, did you not see the small print ?

"* Unlimited means no weekly time restrictions but does not guarantee
connection in the event of congestion, network or system failures.
Terms and conditions apply."

What do they mean by the word 'congestion' ?...

It is uncapped. I should know they are my ISP!
I think we're applying the t & c to dial up here. Here's the email I got
from them a few days back (although yes site has'nt been updated as yet) :-

V TWO ONE SLASHES THE PRICE OF HIGH SPEED BROADBAND INTERNET ACCESS STILL
FURTHER WITH LAUNCH OF
1 MB ADSL FOR JUST £19.99 PER MONTH!


The UK’s fastest growing Internet Service Provider (ISP), V Two One, has
slashed the cost of its high speed 1 MB broadband by £5 to just £19.99 per
month – making an unbeatable offer on high speed internet connection
(www.v21.co.uk).

From April 1st customers will pay just £19.99 instead of £24.99 per month
for the company’s 1 MB ADSL connection, which is 20 times faster than
dial-up and is capable of downloading a 5MB file in less than one minute.

This superb package includes the regular V Two One offerings – uncapped,
unrestricted internet access, plus a free USB modem. New customers can
even transfer from another ISP to V Two One without charge.

Famous for setting internet connection pricing standards, V Two One’s
Managing Director, Steve Kaye, said: “Quite simply this new offer is the
best deal around for this bandwidth. With no download or port
restrictions, internet users will be hard pressed to find an ISP that can
match us.”

V Two One offers three ADSL packages, tailored for customers with
differing degrees of web usage and needs. The standard 512K connection,
which is 10 times faster than dial-up, costs just £10 per month, while the
2 MB connection, 40 times faster than dial-up, costs £39.99 per month.

Steve concluded, “Since striking a deal with Telefonica, V Two One is able
to offer some of the cheapest broadband packages in the UK, while still
providing the same high quality service. All of V Two One’s packages are
unrestricted and uncapped, with no download limits in place. I am
confident the newly priced packages will encourage more people to make the
switch from dial-up to broadband.”
