A bit like Eclipse (see above) but more expensive Eclipse is:
- 1 month contract
- static IP address
- £22.75

...plus (I must admit) VAT, a connection charge and a modem/router of course

Cool

I signed up with PlusNet last night - they look pretty good (no huge complaints on ADSLGuide's forums) and look to be very good value for money (£23p/m includes static IP, 250MB web space, e-mail addresses, fax-to-email software, etc). They also offer a cheaper (£21p/m I think) option that does not allow P2P or Usenet usage.

Daniel

PS - not connected to them, just a (hopefully soon ) happy customer

Edit - just seen MartinM's post - these prices INCLUDE VAT

Try www.adslguide.org.uk. They have a pretty comprehensive list of all the available ISPs along with ratings.

Try plusnet. Only £22.99 a month, you can sign up to a min 1 month contract and you get a static IP. Best value I've seen so far!
