Thought I would mentioned that for business, there would still be your 4.5
cents per minute local call charge. Your downloads speeds are unlikely to
maintain the rate of 256kb even if the site you are downloading from can
support it.

Ultra is not really comparable to Jetstream if you look at the too products
(rather than just price), its more of a residential alternative to dialup
for those not in range of Jetstream.
