You could pay A&A £45/month and get 80 down 20 up with a 150GB limit.
That's pretty good.

I have been going to Finland for more than 10 years. 20 down 1 up broadband
with Saunalahti was about 25-30 EUR / month last time I went (August) --
and 10 down 1 up was common over there.

Show me where you can get 200Mbit/s for £7/month. Show me the site. I know
of certain (few) apartment buildings that have 100 down 10 up from Sonera,
but they pay a lot more than that ;)
