UK ISP V2

I posted over a year ago about having issues with our ISP - Pipex can't seem to transfer your account but have to close it and get you to open a new one. I get the technical details of making sure the line is set up for them to be able to access it but why does that require a new account? Anyhoo, the year was up and we had a bit of a look around to see if Pipex was going to continue to have our custom. The criteria was a little more relaxed this time - it didn't have to be an unlimited download service, just larger than what seems to be the normal 2Gb limit (I've been monitoring our usage and I get through just over 2 GB a month - it's always one too many games of UT2k4!). A download speed of anything from 2Mbps was acceptable (the more the better though). And it had to be cheaper than the current plan. We also need a new modem as the BT based one we have regularly seizes the computer on shutdown Our initial thought was for Orange which ticked all the boxes technically,
