Migrating from residential fibre unlimited to business fibre unlomited

Hi,

I'm currently on BT Infinity2, never have any issues and constantly get 75/18

If I move to a business account will I notice any difference in speed, throughput or performance during the day and in the evening / Weekends ?

I'll be going for the unlimited account (£5 extra) + Static IP Addresses. (£5.50)

Apart from the Static address etc, will I notice anything else ??

During the day I do a lot of p2p downloads of Linux distros and app images. Some of these are from our company servers, others from OpenSUSE, Centos, Ubuntu etc. Will that be an issue ?

Is p2p restricted and what sort of speeds should I expect to see during the day and in the evenings ? Currently I find p2p faster than ftp/http for downloading very large files.

The company I work for are looking to pay for this, so the cost isn't an issue.
(although I find it hard to understand why the same product costs more !)

Thanks

fwiw, the 'Traffic Management' PDF may answer your question.

Link to Terms & Conditions

The p2p traffic management during peak hours seems to suggest it is similar to the discontiinued BT Infinity Option 2 & 3 retail products, unlke the current Unlimited BT Infinity retail products introduced a year ago which have no restrictions.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm currently on the 'classic' BT Infinity 2 with traffic management.
Must admit I have no issues with it..

Any one else any advise ?

Thanks
