I've only noticed unlimited.

People stopped implementing a specific cotnention long
ago and at BTs backhaul rates why would they contend you,
there's money to be made on letting it flow and each of
you pay.

Now I still fail to see how anyone sane will pay those
rates and go back to unlimited to the customer. Unless
you're massive and can play last man standing with the
competition.

Sucks for smaller providors, I welcome it as a user
proposition, it's good for the net if sustained

I don't see why that would congst while they are charging
a profitable rate, many times global transit rates which others
seem able to sustain. Seems like they'll just build a bigger
network.
