I use and recomend Mailbox ( http://www.mailbox.net.uk/ ), mainly because 
the support service is good, especially for Linux. They know what some 
people use ADSL for and are quite happy for you to run small web or email 
server, or share the connection onto a network.

The basic wires package starts at 29 UKP (500Kbit with 50:1 contension), 
with a minimum contract of 1 month. Includes free .uk domain registration 
and DNS entries, block of 4 static IPs (1 of which you can use for a 
machine/firewall, the other three are for network, broadcast and router). 


ISP black marks go to Easynet (very messed up accounts department), Demon 
(for not replying to emails "but we get upto a hundred a day..." and not 
being able to send faxes) and BT Openworld (who only allow one Windows PC 
or Mac on a home connection).
