It'll be good to meet you. When is it you're moving, so we can take that
into condideration when setting meeting dates?

We're with PlusNet. £21.99, 512K, unlimited bandwith, static IP, dynamic
web servers (can't remember what they run though - that's Russ's toy), lots
of static web space, a local rate helpline with sensible recorded messages
and people who can vary how they pitch their advice from Ubergeek to Newbie
instantly, and ongoing benfits for recomendations (we get about 50p every
month knocked of our bill). Overall very impressed with them.

>From what I've seen, most of the slightly smaller ISPs tend to be pretty
good. They have a smaller advertising budget than BT, Wanadoo, et al, so
they have to compete by being better/cheaper.

I'm sure we can train you :-)

Hugs,
