Finally got the BT line sorted so now am after an ISP. Obviously needs to be stable, decent download limits and most importantly have a dynamic IP. This rules out the enta resellers I believe as they all state staic IP's. I did look at Nildram but not sure how they will fair with tiscali buying pipex. Any ideas? :)
 
Also consider that some who state dynamic IP have what is known as a 'sticky' IP so as long as the one you last used is still free you'll continue to get it.

Dynamic IP offers nothing in terms of increased security and is for the most part only really of interest to those who want to be able to do things and then change 'identity' leaving someone else to inherit the problems they have attached to that IP so it really isn't a wise choice in most cases.
 
hehe, I had a feeling I would get that reply, its nothing dodgy, I just need to be able to switch IP for my work that I do, so a quick reboot of the router and job done. Works brilliantly on my current pipex connection. No LLU or cable here I'm afraid :(

I reckon my max peak time usage is 1 gig a day, then I can do my downloads at night. Prepared to go up to £30 a month unless there is something super special out there.
 
Not going to be easy to recommend an ISP for you, your peak usage is high and the majority of the non-Tiscali owned reliable ISPs use a static IP.

I suspect you'll need to look at one of the Netservices resellers like Fast perhaps?

Just over your price limit but they do offer the bandwidth you need along with the dynamic IP.

I have to say I wouldn't normally recommend Netservices to anyone after their involvement in some of the problems that followed the failure of a couple of their resellers last year, but your requirements cut out a lot of possible solutions.
 
Just a thought, but do you need an 'endless' supply of new IPs or could you manage with say an 8 ip block (5 usable)?
 
Are Eclipse still only doing 12 month contracts though?

Their bandwidth limits can be a bit confusing at times but they are listed on the website so worth a look.

Endless I'm afraid. Always thought eclipse were static ip's, I'll go check them out :D
 
hmm, The eclipse evolution package seems to have a static ip, the normal one is dynamic though but has lower limits and more expensive :confused:

Just found Namesco (NDO), any users in here have any problems with them? £24.99pm with a 60GB download limit seems reasonable
 
Namesco are far from the worst around, but you do need to be sure you understand their T&C around leaving as they have a robust approach to ensuring that they get the most out of that situation :)
