(Sorry for the delay in replying, just back from my holidays)

I joined force9. 

I went on the Easy Start package at £25.00 a month. No Setup fees (Except the 
postage for posting the modem)

They sent a modem Free a Binatone ADSL 500 USB Modem, which works under Linux 
(Getting it going takes a few manual commands(you might be able to automate 
it, but it works and that is enough for me) but once it is going is solid as 
a rock.). Force9 do not supply linux drivers, but I did get the link from a 
forum post

You also get CGI, a MySQL server, fax to email service, web stats and lots of 
other things. 

I would reccomend them.
