Zen offer an static IP as standard > which is nice.. :) I use Zen Internet since September last year, mainly because I am "camping" at my present address and most other ISP's only offer 12 month contracts for ADSL. For an independant opinion of ADSL provision within the UK, look no further than http://www.adslguide.org.uk/. There is a compare link there where you can select upto 4 ISP's and compare their performance over the last several months. My previous ISP was Demon, a good-ish ISP and much better than BT, otherwise known affectionately (I am sure??) as BT Openwound - called so because of their propensity to lose emails, I believe. -- Chris Jones
