Yes - Tiscali is my payg account, which I use for public facing communication.  
They are not bad, not particularly linux friendly, but supply enough info to 
do all the necessary.

Mailbox - well we use the HomeWire 500 package, a wires only package.  They 
will supply modem or router if you wish, but we chose to supply our own, and 
they were happy to support it, providing we allowed that they may not 
actually know the equipment.  We chose an SMC, and got all the help we 
needed, and cheerfully.

Basic package is 250kbs up and 500kbs down, contention 50:1.  20:1 is 
available, but much more expensive, of course.  Maybe it's because it's early 
days, but contention has never given us problems.

The basic package is one outward facing ip address, though more can be had 
(max. > 100, they say).  Reading from the info I downloaded when we were 
assessing it they offer news server, games server, webmail.  Domain 
registration to .co.uk or .org.uk with 25 Mb web space.  Email is pop3, smtp 
and mx (whatever that is).  Activation was £60 and monthly rental is £29, all 
plus vat.  If it's of possible interest, check the website at mailbox.co.uk
