CentralPoint are probably more commonly associated with provision of satellite based broadband connections. Well now the Sudbury, Suffolk based ISP has ventured into traditional ADSL - and with some remarkable price points.
CentralPoint uses BT DataStream pipes from wholesale supplier <a href="http://www.uk.telefonica.com/index.htm" target="_blank"">Telefonica. The company says that by buying bulk connections from Telefonica, and without levying high markup costs, the ISP are able to keep prices down. How far down? Look at the table.

From the companies website - there appears to be no limitation in service with Peer2Peer network usage unrestricted, and no mention of any bandwidth caps in place. There is however, a 3 month contract enforced, which these days is common practise.
Whilst the ISPs price point is important, equally important when choosing an ISP is the expected quality of service. If existing users comments of the ISPs satellite based service is a judge then CentralPoint are on to a winner !
Hopefully we'll be able to bring you more about the service from CentralPoint in the coming days, as one of the founders behind UK Broadband Usergroup has just applied for migration ! We'll keep you updated !
More information can be found at CentralPoint's dedicated homepage.
