Re: OT foak broadband providers

I've just signed up with www.madasafish.com for 2mb but I've only been
with them for a week so cant really give a long standing opinion

Static IP's provided free however upload is 256k, download 2mb and
bandwidth 5gb per month. Cost 14.99/month for 6 months then 17.99 after
with a free modem. I *think* additional bandwidth is £2 per gig but
they do other tariff's too.

Cant comment on customer services as I havent called them, however they
delivered the modem after a few days and the service was up when they
said it would be.

Dont know about running a mail server as some ISP's run port blocking -
might be worth looking into before you commit for 12 months.

Cheers
