I've just switched to PlusNet (http://www.plus.net/).

I get 8Mbps downloads which are limited to 8GB pcm, however the limit  
only applies during 8am and midnight, allowing you to use the service  
as much as you like between midnight and 8am (I see a cron job opening  
firewall ports here...)

They will also give you a static IP and their call centres are here in  
the UK operating 24x7.

Good luck with changing from Tiscali, it took me a month and the  
threat of legal action before they'd cancel my contract because of  
their mistakes.  Never again...

Cheers,

M.
