I can recommend Be - we have it at work and home - pretty flawless, 
ADSL2 seems solid. I get around 1.6M at work and 1.3M at home [flats :/]

They also support FastPath of you want more responsive ping times.

I would steer clear of their DNS servers [as with most ISP] sometimes slow.

I have never even suspected they thottle and certainly no limits - and 
most of their tech support seems to know at least at much as me :)

Although having said that this week I have been unable to connect to a 
torrent tracker - looking at the Be support thread it's being bounced 
between them and a tier provider. Just goes to show you are not actually 
ever dealing with _one_ company when it comes down to it - IMO the less 
you have to deal with BT the better.

Cheers
