Best BT Wholesale package with static IP?

Hi all

Have searched this forum for answers but too much info!!!! I think my circumstances are different so I am posting a new thread.

I live rural and SamKnows gives me this information about my exchange..

Broadband availability overview
ADSL:Yes
SDSL:No
LLU services:No
Cable:No
Wireless:No

BT Wholesale information
ADSL status:Enabled as of 17/08/2005
ADSL Max status:Enabled as of 31/03/2006
SDSL status:Not available
21CN WBC status:Not available

Wireless broadband availability

Kijoma: Not available
EMNET Notts: Not available

Cable broadband availability

Smallworld Media: Not available


Yet if I put in my number and postcode to SamKnows it tells me ALL these services are available..
The following services are available in your location:

BT Wholesale ADSL
BT Wholesale ADSL Max
BT Wholesale WBC (21CN)
BT Wholesale SDSL
AOL LLU
O2 / Be LLU
Bulldog LLU
TalkTalk (CPW) LLU
Sky Broadband / Easynet LLU
Tiscali LLU
Tiscali TV (via Tiscali LLU)
Orange LLU (Formerly Wanadoo)


When I go onto say o2 it tells me I am not in their network area, so I believe the exchange info is correct.

I am currently on Pipex Max getting upto 8mb (usually about 5-6) with unlimited download and no restrictions, paying £24.99 per month. I am out of the initial contract so can migrate anytime.

I run a web server from home and need to have a static IP address in the package. My download use each month varies between 2gb and 40/50gb (lots of video on demand etc) so really need an unlimited package.

Any thoughts? Oh no cable service anywhere near us.

Thanks in advance.
I miss too many pages due to work so if you need an answer from me, please send me a PM.

    Oh and one thing that has just arisen.... Tiscali (and therefore Pipex) has just been bought by TalkTalk. Should I hold on and see if they offer anything to Pipex customers?:confused:

    I note BT Business connections do static IP's at reasonable rates.
    Alternatively hear good things abut PlusNET too
