NoS1 - to be honest, the only advice I would give is to avoid this like the plague. They are reselling broadband access at (or very close to) the costs they are charged by BT just for the connection - and that's before usage is taken into account, which can cost a fair bit.
This industry is littered with companies that have tried to offer far too good a deal at far too low a price, and they all disappear sooner or later, often with lots of recriminations and customers being the ones to suffer the most.

BT currently charge ISPs £8.97 (inc vat) per month for just the ADSL line card rental. At the (1000 ish?) largest exchanges they do give a £1.46 rebate.
So providing just the connection, costs the ISP between £7.51 and £8.97 per month.
So for a £9.99 per month ADSL service there's between £1.02 and £2.48 to cover the costs of bandwidth (mainly BT central costs), wages, offices, advertising and everything else.
£1.02 won't even buy much bandwidth - The BT central rental costs means the cost of transfering a gigabyte of data must be in excess of 60p.
Of couse they might be reselling a LLU service where available, Tiscalli perhaps?
