£350/month with these peeps

the above company do an 11U 'starter' package for £150/month, free set-up,
and you get 2Mb/s - might be a better option initially.

and make a massive profit  ;o)

which would be ploughed back into the infrastructure, of course...

£350+ per month plus VAT is a lot to commit to, innit.  i suppose 10
people prepared to pay the necessary to get the the enterprise up to speed
might be feasible.
