Eclipse.

What daily download limit? :-)

You can use your own package, however you'll need a provider that will give
you a static IP address at no extra charge. (Hence the recommendation for
Eclipse.)

Alternatively, if you feel you need your own mail server / web server, then
someone like www.rapidhoster.co.uk will do it for £20 / YEAR. (£1.67 /
month)

I used to use Tiscali ISDN - I'd not touch them again. Eclipse has been far
easier.
