I'm looking into having a cable broadband connection as a back up to our ClaraNet connection (at work) as the connection has been ceased in error by them twice in the last 6 months. We could get by on 1Mb but need static IPs, anybody got experience of business cable and do NTL have resellers, they want £80 p.m. for 1Mb with static IPs.

I'm thinking cable so that it'll be a fallback even if ADSL at our local BT exchange goes down (happened last year), are there other options that I haven't thought of?
