No ADSL/VDSL ISP I am aware of has any difference with their "Business" offering compared to residential as far as offering any SLA etc. Other than support desk hours etc which seem more limited on business xDSL offerings. I think UFB is prettymuch in the same boat for best effort no SLA across the board.

There is more potential for a difference with UFB if the ISPs really wanted to - they can offer varying CIR levels on GPON but i don't know if thats still only accessible using the right packet flag like you do for voice services, as opposed to say on a P2P link where you might have a CIR of a certain speed for all traffic then best effort above that.

For what we need (6 people plus a business) anything less than 200 down we will bottleneck with day to day peak usage. Heavy usage household.



I think you're seriously overestimating your bandwidth requirements here. Yes 200Mbps is great, but to believe anything less will result in bottlenecks is crazy.

probably, (especially since they currently have a 3Mbps connection between the 6 of them) but then splitting $129 between 6 people means they only pay $21 each anyhow, so it's probably not a huge deal to just get the fastest possible anyway.
