UK Web based hosts

At the moment I'm with hostpapa however I had to host live data myself due to their slow and buggy ftp servers and tech support who didn't understand ftp which they confused with http.
I kid you not.

Until fibre arrives in my area probably around 2025 or later I'm going to need either to continue host live data myself or find a uk based provider who is reliable has good tech support if needed and a ftp service that can handle a five second upload.

Data can go up to 10gig a month depending on the weather. The website itself is probably just over 1 gig itself

Any recommendations folks?

Hi I don't know if this helps or not but I host some people's websites for a small fee which is £5 a month I have a hosting company with unlimited sites so I do help others to get their sites up and running all you will get is username and a password and the FTP and MySQL with no dashboard but u can access it via FileZilla

HostPresto have been looking after me for a couple of years and have helped when I’ve had a couple of file problems. The service is excellent and cost is around 26GBP per annum.
