Try pipex business connection - ive been using it for a while now £25
unlimited with static IP
Good download and good upload aswell for hosting etc.
Ive had no outages when i first got connected it was a tad slow so I
called them they made some changes and now its 100%
Ive posted the minutes for the meeting to my blog
