Static IP AddressA static IP address is a unique number which provides your computer or router with a permanent address on the Internet. A static IP address is useful for:- Accessing external services with IP based security, such as Servers, Remote Desktop Access, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), and authentication for secure access to protected web sites, If you have a local e-mail server for your inbound or outbound mail, A local web server
Contention RatioContention Ratio 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.	10:1	10:1	10:1

Enhanced Fault Care Option ADSL and SDSL products are supplied as standard with "BT Standard fault Care". BT’s Standard fault Care response time is generally known as 'best endeavours' in that BT will endeavour to resolve the fault as soon as they can with a target time of 48 working hours. However, BT suffer no penalty for going beyond this. BT operate within business hours on standard care ( 9am – 5pm Monday – Friday).
Enhanced Care is available as a cost option. Enhanced Care offers a 3 hour response time from the initial BT fault being logged with BT, with a 20 clock hour fix to totally clear the BT fault. Out of hours engineering visits to site may be used to complete a repair if unrestricted access is available. The fault may be logged 24/7.
The 'Response Time' is BT's commitment to act on the fault reported either by running tests or allocating resource. This does not guarantee a clear only that the fault reported will be actioned.
If BT fail to respond, or clear a BT fault in the specified time period, compensation will be payable on receipt of a claim in writing, the amount of compensation is half of the monthly service charge (based on Swift Internet Pricing).
Enhanced Care is available at £11.00 + vat/month for ADSL, and £30.00 + vat/month for SDSL.
