Actually - for our business JetStream is ideal. We have 20+ users
connected
for 12+ hours a day - as well as running 4 financial markets trading
system
using the internet as a communication medium. Although our monthly bill
is
quite substantial (we download on average 5 Gb/month) the bandwidth
actually
makes it a cheap alternative to something like 2 128K ISDN lines or
something like that. Unfortunately the latest problems with the RAN's,
router's, etc. does not make it a reliable option - but that should be
sorted out soon :-)

Actually,
I've recently downgraded to Jetstream 400 having never exceeded my 600Mb
limit in nearly a year of use.

Our home link is mostly used for teleworking and extramural academic
research (researching assigments etc.), as well as personal e-mail and
general web browsing.

For these purposes, Jetstream is ideal, as most of it is real-time and I
prefer not to struggle with latency issues.

For an always-on business connection, where I would guess that inbound
e-mail would be a large proportion of the traffic, I would totally agree
that a lower speed flat rate would be a better bet.

Also, if you pull ISO images and MP3's every other day, then I guess
Jetstream in its current charging regime is not so attractive!
