I've been with Demon too, and have no complaints. Currently with Zen (http://www.zen.co.uk/broadband/athome.aspx) because they offered 8 static IP addresses (although by "8", they actually mean "5" - three are taken up by network/broadcast/router addresses). Both Zen and Demon have flawless support if you ever need them, and they're both pretty techy and Linux-friendly, which is a Good Thing(tm).
