I used to work for a large ISP that did the same to the biggest users of it's un-metered service. And I understand many others do. Unless things have changed the deal they have with BT is such that if you do over 'n' hours a month they lose money. And that number isn't that great. This even applies to those ISPs with Annexe II inclusion (a Telco 'license'), who get benefits others don't. > So I am looking for another ISP.

As someone pointed out demon don't do dual channel ISDN access via a POP un-metered users can access. Pipex offer this but for un-contended dual channel ISDN the cost was >100quid/month IIRC. And 64K ain't much better than analogue dial, in terms of bandwidth anyway. If it's for business, or you have a quid or two to spend theres always satellite. I believe you can get a service for ~80/month, and the connection is often >512Kbps.
