Essentially, the provider must be able to supply a modem or other
device
which will connect to the Airport NOT either the Mac or the PC.
This seems to rule out the vast majority of DSL providers in the UK
who
ship USB modems - next to useles for multiple/networked users.
The other catch is provision for the Herts area.
Any ISP will work with Macs (although you might not get support on
the phone). The ADSL signal that comes out of your phone socket is
the same whoever you pay your money to. The only thing is that you'll
probably have to buy your own wireless router, but it'll be better
than any supplied one anyway.
Misco sell the "D-LINK WIRELESS 802.11G 54MBPS ADSL MODEM ROUTER WITH
INTEGRATED 4 PORT SWITCH DSL-G604" for £55 and also give you a free
wireless PC card:

If you want one that's Mac-friendly you could try Demon or Virgin but
the ADSL signal that comes out of your phone socket will be the same
whoever you pay your money to.
