The u/l & d/l speeds are equal ideal for local hosting. Understandably, the pricings may be a little steep however combining personal uses & hosting site locally can offset the costs. Advice: watch out for robots/crawlers increasing u/l traffics. According to a friend in Monkstown (across the water from your new home) has trouble-free service since initial couple of outages.

I think you can get a static off them. Netsource are meant to be good too. BT has lots of issues with their billing system but one or two emails to the right people can have that sorted, if you experience an issue that is. Most people don't.
