Most broadband providers in the UK can be fooled into giving you an effective static IP address, they lease the IP to your line while it is in use. So if you have a router running 24/7 you effectively have a static IP address. I had 6months uptime on one IP however then my flatmate disconnected the router and had to change my website pointers... ohh well.
Cable seems like a better deal than broadband here, both share their lines however cable is normally at a lower contention rate than broadband lines (50:1 for broadband, 30-35:1 for most Cable companies that I asked)
