Same as everything really, somewhere in the middle, or higher if you
can really justify it.

If you're happy then it sounds like you have a good deal.

But read the fine print.  An 18 month contract where the termination
clause is that you pay out the full 18 months, a whole bunch of
other unfavourable clauses, and the other week someone came to my
front door at 8pm and said "I'm from your broadband supplier and I'd
like to check you're getting the best deal" -- guess what that was
about?  Someone doorstep selling for TalkTalk.

There are not enough bits of data on the Internet to make me use
that company.
