Fast and Cheap ISP for business

[Gabriel Gunderson]

We currently have ELI as our primary data provider and plan on keeping
them.  However, we are looking to off-load our internal web surfing and
off-site backups to another connection.

I've never been in the market for DSL or cable for a business (only
personal use).  Is there anything that I need to know about before
choosing a provider?  Do they tend to cap upload speeds like they do for
residential users?  Do they have better uptime then they provide for the
home users?  How about static IPs, reverse DNS and port blocking (such
as port 25 out)?

I know many of these things will differ from provider to provider, but I
thought you all might have some recommendations for me.  If I'm going to
wait on hold for 15 minutes per provider, I'd like to be able to ask the
right questions :)

Thanks.
