Personal choice really, choose an ISP that you feel comfortable with, 
many mainstream ISP's offer little or no support for linux, that doesn't 
mean you can't use linux just don't expect help with Linux from their 
helpdesks. If you want a linux ISP the only ones that I know of from the 
top of my head are your current provider http://www.uklinux.net/ and 
http://www.ukfsn.org/

Buy your own hardware, preferably a router, it makes life a lot easier 
and you can use it with any OS and allows multiple PCs to share your 
internet connection. If you decide to use a ADSL modem, make sure that 
linux drivers are available for your preffered Linux distro before you 
buy it.

Personally I use PlusNet and have no issues with the service.
