Round up of Max products
The BT IPstream and Datastream Max products from BT Wholesale are slowly rolling out across the exchanges in the country. March 2006 is the month when we can expect many more exchanges to be
offering the service. In anticipation of this roll-out service providers are adding products to their range, or altering the specification of existing products.
In an attempt make it easier to see what the various new products are, we will be updating a table of Max product pricing. This will only list products using BT IPstream and BT Datastream Max
products. If you are an ISP and have announced your Max pricing, email [email protected] and I will endeavour to add you.

(*) Only downloads count towards allowance.
All prices shown include VAT.
(**) Prices shown do not include £6/month saving for the first six months.
Not all products may be shown for a service provider, with the variety of usage allowances we will usually just list a selection.
The regrade fee applies to existing customers at an ISP. The '-' means we do not know if there is a fee, where we know it is free we will say so.
When comparing service providers be aware that their peak time periods may differ.
A key point is that the Max services use rate adaption on both the downstream and upstream speeds, so the line speed will vary according to your individual lines abilities. Additionally some
service providers may rate limit your data throughput, e.g. if paying for a 4Mbps product, and your line is running at 6Mbps, they may limit your downloads to 4Mbps. We have not listed the
upstream speeds, since the designation of Home on most products implies a maximum line upstream speed of 448kbps, Office denotes an upstream of up to 832kbps.
Before ordering any Max products it is worth double checking whether the Max services are available on your exchange, the service provider may be able to give an estimated date, but as always
with estimates dates can alter.
