Agreed, I've spent the last couple of years on a Demon business package
(BT line) that was truly unlimited and had no traffic shaping. There is
the small issue with that now ending, but it was great for a long time. 

I rather suspect its the new cable and wireless owners settling in and
ending the unlimited part, rather than really anything else. I never
have a hint of slowdown, ever.
