  • Up to 8 Mbps* download speedUp to 832 Kbps* upload speed60GB downloads included (30GB 9am-midnight, 30GB midnight-9am)Unlimited uploads£34.99 / mth including VATI was recommended this one as they said it would need the extra upload speed. They did mention the VOIP would need its own built in server??
    Orange currently are only about £9.99 so quite a jump, however if I could route my calls through this then I would save £40 odd on phone bills

    What provider is this?, ace internet used to do the same package but believe they went bust
    from my own experience the extra upload speed was wasted because of bts local exchange throttling, most companies offering voip services dont require you to have a server, they provide it.

    Not sure what you are trying to acheive here, there is (from what i've seen) only two ways to get a guaranteed fixed ip that is
    a) to go with an isp that will rent you one, or
    b) find a proxy provider that will rent you one.(i had a quick look couldn't see one)

    There are other methods but mostly illegal or severely technical lol

    Have a chat to Zen, I've found them to be very professional and they offer a whole host of business services, including VOIP.
