I use them at home; the "unlimited" service. Speeds are as advertised. 
I've not noticed any problems with connection downtime/contention/etc. 
Though I'm not a particularly heavy user, when I do download something 
large it zips along, and I have no interactivity problems with online 
games and the like.

You have to use their kit which some people here might not like/find 
wasteful, but it does everything I need. Initial setup was quick and 
painless. I've not had any need to contact them since, so can't really 
judge their customer service. They take my money regularly without issue. :)

They're only available on a few exchanges.

Yes, but for a hefty surcharge (£4/month IIRC?).
