I'm with BEthere. Their tech support is the best of any I've ever come across
(even helping with routers that weren't on their support list). TS is based in
Bulgaria, but the techs speak pretty good english, so you rarely have language
problems. The supply ADSL over BT's network, so you won't get cable speeds,
but depending on where you are you should still get reasonable speeds.
However, you can get a static IP, and the service is extremely stable.

Yes, this is a shameless recommendation, but it's been my experience for 18
months now.

Cheers,
