Which ISP

[DR]

I don't want to pay through the teeth for my ADSL.

I want a good ISP, reasonable Service - 512K connection.

I need a few real world IPs. Static too.

I don't want to pay 50 quid install, but will if needed.

What would you recommend? It is going in to my home, not office.

http://forums.hexus.net/showthread.php?t=15675 any good?

David go with Zen - their service is fantastic - and I can get you a fiver off the install

Plusnet

Self install package - £22 per month,

they'll give you 250mb of webspace too

[DR]

I don't need webspace

The trouble with the HEXUSDSL one is that I need more statics

[Moby-Dick]

you can have 8 with Zen

What are the benefits of static IP addresses?

[DR]

Means I can have systems with addresses for backup boxes...

[Allen]

I see, so if this site throws a wobbly on the servers it's currently on, you can run it from home temporarily?

No benefit to the average Jo home user like me then?

[DR]

Well I am not going to run HEXUS from home - we have 20mbit at the moment pre-bought connectivity (100mbit burstable)

Thus it would cripple my ADSL.

Zen all the way - As it's run by northerners you can expect a good, honest, no nonsense service

Give www.adslguide.org a look its very good at breaking down individual ISPs.

Personally I am with Nildram and dont have a bad word to say about them.

[DR]

I used to work for Nildram.... :|

ADSLGuide - been on it all day

bulldog - www.bulldogdsl.com :: 1 pound install and you can get a 2 Mb line for 37.99 a month. had mine since Sept and I've not had an issue with the ADSL at all, and speeds have always been near 2 Mb max or even more sometimes for some strange reason

pipex free install and only£23.44 a month

[petrefax]

the service provided by pipex is good, but their customer service is diabolical, definitely amongst the worst i've encountered
