    Isp

    Need a new ISP for work, were on Demon at the mo and there getting worse and worse and there not giving speed upgrades for free lol....

    Need 24/7 connection with a decent up as we upload CD's to an FTP server in China (WACNET) and we have our own mail server, also need a static IP...

    Suggestions?

    Can your budget stretch to a leased line?

    Gonna give you the best upstream connection.

    Do nildram still do that line bonding thing where you can bond two lines together to double the upstream bandwidth?

    Only problem with Zen is that you cannot email AOL or Nildram users as we found this out today.

    Client is on their business package!

    I'll clarify my comments as thats a bit harsh

    you need to do one of two things.

    - set your exchange up to use zens smtp relay as a smart host.
    - get a reverse DNS record.
