What ISP?

With BT being fiendishly spendy and utterly jumping the shark over Phorm, I needs me an ISP.  There's no cable down here in sunny Devon, my monthly usage is around 12Gb (it'll go up now that the Wii supports iPlayer) and all I need is a nice unspied-upon neutral vanilla pipe that stays up.  Suggestions?  Bundle packages might be tempting.

I used Zen alot in the past, but I switch on and off every 6 months (for obvious reasons) so I may have to examine the market in a week or so. That said, Zen's always seemed to have good support when needed, gave me a fixed IP and didn't have much down time. Cancelling and opening services with them is straightforward.

Slightly off topic - anyone got Wii Mariokart yet? Wondering how it compares to Snes, 64 and Gamecube versions (yes, I'm that old and yes, I've played that much mariokart)

I use UKOnline, simply because they have no traffic filtering and pretty much no download limits whatsoever. We're talking GEEGAAABIIIIITES and then some and not so much as a warm router to let me know they're unhappy. Unfortunately, they have been bought out by News International but without any degredation in service.

Then again, if I were to do it all over again I'd be very tempted by Be, for pretty much the same reasons, but with an O2 connection instead of a Murdochian one.
