    Esat DO NOT provide Static IP address for residential users, SOOOOOoo Im wondering what is the nxt step up from the ESAT BT package Im chosing that provides a static IP.

    I recommend NTL Broadband if you're looking for a static IP. I have it and my IP hasn't changed since I got it 7 months ago.

    But they do for Business customers for 45e per month, also 1MB/256K & uncapped.

    So get that, unbundle the line so its data only and you don't pay eircom a penny and use a VoIP provider for your phone service like skytel.ie, broadtalk.ie or blueface.ie ;)
    :p

    55e per month for Voice+Data not bad really...

    I still recommend NTL. I have a 3Mb/s connection that actually runs at 3Mb/s, all the time! Also, they use some nice features that mean if you use a decent router behind the modem, (like my Linksys WRT54G), you can use port forwarding to remotely connect into your local network.

    Very few ISP allow this. and no need to change your Phonewatch box or have a phone line at all.

    All perfectly do-able without any issues on a BT Business line :)
