know of cheap DSL?

[Stryker]

Anyone know of a cheap DSL provider... ADSL is fine, but I need a static ip address.  Got bored of waiting for teleworst to offer a stic ip.

Gandalph, I'm looking in your direction for an answer.... mr uber dsl office guy.

I'm currently with www.hi-velocity.it

At home I have 2mb dsl with a static IP (will do any quantity of IP's, within reason. There is a charge for this) and at work we have 5mb down 1mb up via 2 x 2mb and 2 x 512kb adsl conns bonded on a Cisco 2600 with 4 adsl line cards. Works very nicely.

Give them a call or e-mail (you'll get a mail back almost instantly, they are very good in that respect).

Great bunch of guys, and after the install here at work we all went to the pub for beers

why not use my "trick" for dynamic update of the deadmen DNS then it doesn't matter what IP you have.

Me and the great Alberto use Eclipse.co.uk.  They offer the choice of upto 5 static ip's at no extra cost(If you can prove you need them).  Or they did when i signed up.  Top service too.

I use PlusNet.

£21.99 a month (incl VAT) for a 50:1 contention, 512kbps connection (ADSL Home self-install).  Static IP was enabled a couple of hours after I requested it.

In my experience my IP remains static till I my ADSL router gets turned off in a power cut. Then it acquires a new one. If I turn it off manually it seems to save it??? That could just be BT tho...

Think I'm going with gandy's suggestion, they seem nice peeps.  In tests conducted last night I sucessfully routed a block of public IPs to my home network meaning errr well PCs on my home net can have public addressable ips  

All I need now is ADSL with 1 static ip so my tunnel dosnt fall over every time my ip changes.
