Protected Capital Growth Accounts?

I've just been talking to my current ISA provider who was giving me information on a Protected Capital Account They say I can use it like an ISA for tax free savings the term is 6yrs and you have to invest a minimum of £3k returns 18% protected with the chance of it growing to 48% which I know is very unlikely due to it being linked to the FTSE100. Given that the chance of the FTSE being +6 half the time would this work out as a better investment than a fixed rate ISA - I've seen advice from previous years saying it's not worth it but with ISA rates so low is it now?
