Maybe you could answer some questions.

- what news server do you get (if any)?

news.enta.net
45000 newsgroups.

- what happens if you blow your 5GB ?

You get charged the monthly amount for the next tariff plus a £5 admin fee BUT REMEMBER that 5GB is peak usage. Any usage outside of 8am-10pm Mon-Fri comes out of the off peak allowance of 45GB so non of your weekend usage would come out of the 5Gb. So if you're going to want to do a lot of downloading, use a download manager and set it to kick off after 10pm and disconnect before 8am.

- how is mail upload handled? can I send as any From: address through entanet's relay? I have about 6 domains registered here an there that occasionally have to send mail as e.g. 'webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' from the server..on my network..

Yes. Just put the correct SMTP server address for the entanet reseller you use in the account details.
