Dan,
Let me just say that I found the tone of your E-mail insulting, and
in part a needless case of "my Dad's bigger than your Dad" and somewhat
pompous. And as such a terrible attempt at moving things forward. Was
this really the intention? Or was it a wind-up/trolling? I'm really not
sure.

I can recommend OneTel for DSL. I used the ADSL service when it was still
owned by Iomart, before the sale to Centrica/OneTel. They were 2nd largest
in terms of customer base, so no worries of them dissapearing. And the
technical (infrastructure) guys were good, although I did work alongside
them,
You've probably gathered this by now, but..
As someone rightly pointed out it needs to support PPP over ATM (PPPoA) if
it's for ADSL in the UK. The only thing that varies between here and other
countries are the ATM settings (VPI & VCI, I think), which are usually set
by software.
But watch out,
