The Priority Upgrade - £4.70/m (£5.88 with RDSLMax)
This is an optional extra that can be ordered with all the above packages (except RDSL250).
With this option, under network congestion conditions in BT's network, BT will give you a higher downstream
throughput than if you didn't have the upgrade. Additionally, with RDSLMax, your maximum upstream speed
increases to 832kbit/s.
About Data Transfer Allowance
Your download data transfer only is measured between 10 AM and 10 PM daily. Upstream data transfer
is not measured and not subject to any extra charges. If you use more than your free allowance
of download data transfer per month during these hours we charge £1.10 per extra Gigabyte
or part Gigabyte used. You can monitor your usage from within your online account.
Switching from another ISP to Upstream Internet is free with a MAC code, and can usually take
place as soon as the next working day if you wish. The ordering process allows you to choose the date
you'd like the migration to take place.

† What is Rate Adaptive (RDSL)?
RDSL adapts its speed to the quality and length of your line. This allows BT to increases the reach of their DSL services from the local
exchange beyond what "normal" ADSL is capable of, but with a corresponding reduction in speed. See
here for a nice FAQ about RDSL.
