Most ISP newservers are crap.
I use Claranews and find them great, 1 outage in the last 6 months for a few hours, apart from that very fast and reliable, retention is ok, about 7 days'ish, 512k per connection, your allowed 3 connnections, about £12 pm unlimited.
Astraweb are also very good, 2 meg max speed, $14 pm (£8-9) unlimited.

Thanks for the responses
Yes my ISP does provide feeds but they are very limited.
Think I may give astraweb a try ... only got a 512k line to the 600k one would suit.
