Also remember that ADSL is not a "permanent" connection although most implementations of it function as if they were.
area? I'm not sure if you'd want to go down this route, but you could always
look at hosting all your services yourself, this would allow you full
control over your website and also SMTP management. However the downside to
this would obviously be that your website would be limited in bandwidth by
whatever upload speed is determined by your connection.
Of course if you're ISP isn't up to the job you might be better off doing it yourself.

Personally, I'm not very impressed with my domestic service from them:
1) low bandwidth - although I've only got 128k link, it frequesntly goes a LOT slower
2) News servers - massively overloaded. I've given up trying to news even with cron'ed leafnode
3) Support - ha ha ha!
The phone works most of the time but I have had a couple of outages. I'm now on my third set-top box in a year and still get regular outages.
