People bookmark the domain name not the IP address of the host, so when you new ISP sets the the dns to point at their servers your customers bookmarks will follow suit.

our website is <URL snip>(you need to type the www)and yes, we would transfer the domain name and the site.

Ok, on to your question! :) Moving hosting providers is something that some people around here have done up to 10 times a year. It can be hard to find just the right one. In the industry the turn rate is between 2%-8% loss per month. So you can see people are coming and going all the time. Domain names are perfect because they allow you to move around, they follow you. So even if locate your new website half way around the world people will still find you in the same virtual place. They will not aware to be any change.
The only disadvantage to moving is not the people will not finding you issue. It is all the work that it takes moving files from your old host to your new host, configuring email at your new host, and adjusting any sever side parsing scripts you had running on your web server to make webpages.
Once again, feel free to make your self at home and explorer all the other great forums around here.
