[Phpwm] Broadband recommendations.

[Simon Hamp]

I'm on TalkTalk. It's fast: we're up to 24meg (but I'm in a built up area) -
I consistently get 11mbps down and 800kbps up. The price is very good (just
over £20/month). 40GB download limit... don't know if I can get a static IP,
probably cost extra...

Their business equivalent though is called Opal ( http://www.opal.co.uk/ ).
Worth giving them a look.
