I've had great up-time from them, my router has recorded over 3 months up-time at one point. They also support fixed IP at no extra charge for VPN's, etc..
You should also note that they, like most IP's, are switching their terms of service as BT (slowly) rolls out Max-DSL. This will mean that we'll all be able to connect at the maximum speed our lines will support and the monthly fee will depend on the amount we download. I can provide details of this if required.
The roll-out is based on BT's upgrade of the exchanges but is expected to be complete by the end of autumn (but don't hold your breath - this is BT we're talking about!) and will supply everyone with 2Mb download speeds if their lines will handle it. 8Mb will follow. It's just a pity that ADSL will only support 512Kb upload speeds.
Some other ISP's are still offering 'unlimited' broadband but all the opinion I've read is that they'll be forced down the same path by BT's charging policy. Also, many of the ISP's that advertise in the national press provide services that are only, barely, suitable for the average home user. If you need more my advice is 'don't touch them with a barge-pole', I've spent countless hours lately helping family and friends to sort out their setups and most of them are planning to switch once their current contracts run out.
Cheers,
Colin
