The I-way deal is 500gbp per _annum_, and has no bandwidth restrictions (as long as we do not abuse it).
There doesn't seem to be any option

no

15% off their 200 gbp deal is miserly, I-way came up with 75% reduction (from 2000 gbp per annum). Are these guys serious?
I-way also run a reseller program for which we get 10%, although we have yet to recieve anything (iglu is the first site we have actually put their way). Although I am trying to get them for some commission kruger should have got.

The paneris fund has about a grand in it, so can easily absorb (and and has budgeted for 500 gbp). I we don't install until jan, there may not even be a next year after that :)
