I think you'll see the performance difference during the day and it will probably be substantially in favour of the business account.
 
Gonna do another at exactly 12:00 back to back. Just bought an uncapped business account. I think i'm trying to convince myself i have made the right move to go from the Leon to the uncapped Business

Ye, depends on your needs I guess. If you want top performance during the day a business account is the way to go, although AH did have some issues today but not sure if it affected their business users.
 
I actually have a seedbox in Europe somewhere and am not too phased about Office hours downloading although i would prefer an account that would give me around an average of 350 k/s after hour all the time. Or prolly would cancel out with the business account cause my Openweb account only goes along at 50 k/s during the day.
The other reason for taking the AF account is that i am migrating my line to them as well at the end of the month so if i got issues i only need make one phone call. Gonna be a long night and day tonorrow if i wanna test both.

Openweb also offers an after hour 1.2 TB downloaders account wonder if that wont be my answer?

Those After hours accounts are magic, I had one for a month a while back, was just a bit pricey for me because you must supplement it with a capped account for daytime use.
