As long as you use any router with a wireless/ethernet connection, it should work fine.
Any ISP should be fine as long as you use a proper ADSL modem/ router and avoid USB like the plague.
Not so much should as will. The 'signal' that comes into the house will be the same whichever ISP they use. However they'll normally be given (or sold) a cheap USB modem and, because these require a driver, some aren't compatible with Macs (but some will work fine). An Ethernet modem will always work with a Mac as Ethernet is supported in the OS. You can combine the modem with a router and/or wireless base but it's not essential to be connected and they can be added separately.
