For the business option, which works out at just under £100 per month.

I'm currently on home highway which comes to about £100 a month
including all my phone calls. Add £15 a month for a demon unmetered
account and there's not a lot in it. If the bandwidth really is there,
it'll be better than bonded ISDN. But of there are lags, it'll make
interactive shell stuff a pain.
