I'm on TalkTalk. It's fast: we're up to 24meg (but I'm in a built up area) - I consistently get 11mbps down and 800kbps up. The price is very good (just over £20/month). 40GB download limit... don't know if I can get a static IP, probably cost extra...<div>

Currently I'm on an original 512k down 256k up broadband connection that I<br>
get through a hosting company I deal with. The support is great but it's not<br>
cheap and getting anything faster will cost a fortune with them.<br>
<br>
Looking on the internet the market nowadays seems to largely comprise of<br>
cheap no frills limited providers or companies that only work when they have<br>
their equipment in their exchange.<br>
<br>
I need an provider with decent support, fixed IP addresses (I've been amazed<br>
at how many ISP's I've spoken to don't know what one is, let alone provide<br>
one) and the ability to provide broadband in my very rural exchange.<br>
<br>
So who does everyone else use and are they any good?<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
