Download Speed ¹Download speed means the speed at which data is transferred from the Internet to your connection. The speed of the connection provided is shown in Mbps, and dependent upon the distance of the premises from the BT exchange, and the capabilities of the telephone exchange.

To establish an estimate of the speed you are likely to receive for your telephone line, start the order process and enter your telephone number. The availability checker will provide you with BT's estimate of download speed based upon the length of your line, and exchange capability.

Contention RatioContention means that the connection from your local exchange to the ISP is shared by other users. It is quoted as a ratio e.g. 50:1 - meaning a maximum of 50 people will be sharing your allocated bandwidth (e.g. 512kbps). In actuality the number of people sharing bandwidth is more complex it tends to be more like 3400 512kbps users sharing a 34Mbps connection, which means that a few users running at full speed have less of an affect on other users, therefore contention is rarely an issue.

Unlimited products are subject to an acceptable use policy: Swift Internet specialise in the supply of broadband to small to medium sized business (SME's). In almost all cases our unlimited service provides all the bandwidth needed by SME's, however we do operate an acceptable use policy (AUP) on Swift internet Broadband. This is in place to prevent a very small number of customers from affecting the performance of the service for all other users. The Acceptable Use Policy means that the service may not be suitable for those individuals who regularly use file sharing applications, download movies etc.

If we feel that your data transfer is going way beyond the normal use of a typical SME, we will contact you to ask you to reduce your usage. If, your usage doesn't fall within an acceptable level, we will contact you again to discuss our options which may, in extreme circumstances include suspension or disconnection of the service.

*All prices exclude VAT. Monthly charges are billed quarterly in advance. Minimum contract 12 months with 30 day notification of cancellation. If a Broadband service is terminated early, the activation costs will be charged at £50 + vat. Please note that the ADSL contract applies to the installation address. If you move or wish to move within this period, the broadband has to be ceased and is classed as an early termination.

Broadband migrations from a standard BT line are free of charge. If you are migrating from a non-BT LLU (local loop unbundled) line, then an additional £45 + VAT activation charge applies.

See our Terms and conditions for more information.

MANAGED ISDN TO ADSL CONVERSION
It is possible to convert your ISDN 2/2e, Business Highway, or Home Highway service to ADSL with relatively little downtime. With the new "managed" ISDN to ADSL conversion procedure, on the day of ADSL activation, a BT engineer will visit site, perform the conversion and test the ADSL line. If the line fails the ADSL activation tests then the ISDN line is immediately restored. In addition the process should also result in less downtime than if you go for the alternate route of ceasing the ISDN then getting ADSL installed once you have an analogue line. The end user is billed directly by BT for the conversion. At time of print, the charge for conversion stands at £42.55+vat. Please check with BT to see if you are tied into a minimum contract period with BT before placing an order.

This does however mean that the ISDN service is lost as the line has to be converted back to a single analogue line. Most ISDN/Highway circuits have 3 phone numbers attached, please note that the 2 additional numbers that came with the ISDN/Highway will be lost. This is a consideration if any of the additional numbers are in use. you can choose which number is designated to the analogue line after conversion by specifying that number when placing the order with us.

WHAT IS ADSL?
ADSL is a type of Broadband (high speed) Internet connection. ADSL stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line.
The service makes use of your existing BT telephone line, but splits the signal into two, one for voice communications and the other for the high speed Internet connection. It achieves this by making use of a frequency range not used in normal voice communications. The splitting of the line allows Internet access, and fax/phone at the same time. The ADSL part of the line is permanently connected to the internet with no call charges. Any voice or fax calls are charged by BT per normal.
