FWIW I can highly recommend Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.co.uk) - I have been with them for coming up to 2 years now, and have had zero problems with them. Their technical support staff are great - on the 2 occasions I have had to use it (both times it was BT's problem at the exchange end) I have found the staff extremely helpful, polite and knowledgable - they didn't get phased at all when I mentioned that I run Debian with many connections behind my router. The package is static IP, no ports blocked, no bandwidth limits with free webspace/email etc. - all in all I am more than happy with them. HTH.
