www.iomart.com offer a new package with a 6:1 contention ratio, and with 6
static IPs for about �3400 p.a. That's in the UK, I'm not sure what Irish
providers can give you, but obviously they can reduce the contention ratio
if they want to.
I've been considering the same thing, what worries me too is the service
level - I've heard of lots of problems with ADSL being unavailable for
periods of time. With a leased line with Worldcom, BT turn up to look at
the problem whatever the time of day, and weekends too. I don't think you
get that level of cover with the ADSL options.
