I have been with IGS for years.  No problem with servers.  Competent and 
helpful non-clueless technical support (they told ME about mtr).  Static IP 
available for $5.00/mth.  When bell screwed up my line a while a go they 
(IGS) provided me with a dial up account to get me through.  Highly 
recommended.
