totally unlimited no traffic shaping and no restrictions (i suppose they
could have contention issues, but i havent experieinced any). My line cant
cope with more then 3000kbps, i get the full speed all day every day, using
newsgroups (not skys) to download things, i get a very consistant speed.

Been with sky now for several years, they are a AAA isp, masquerading as a
cheap and nasty no frills talktalk like operation.
