Your only real option, if you don't want forced disconnects (step up NTL,
Freeserve, BTO, etc), is Demon Internet.  Go with the Premier Connect Plus
package (19.99UKP/mo incl. VAT) plus Surftime Anytime (now sadly 25UKP/mo
incl. VAT).

I had a Demon PCP account from Jan to Oct 2001, connecting via my SmoothWall
box, and was regularly connected for days, and occasionally weeks, at a
time, without complaint from either BT or Demon.  It did scare people though
when I showed them 100+ hour phone calls on my bill ;)

Yes, it's expensive but you get:

 - static IP address
 - unlimited connect time
 - inbound SMTP mail delivery

and quite a few other features.

Yes there are other ISPs which offer some of those features for less, but I
don't know of any who do them all.
