Blueyonder via telewest or BT ADSL via virtually any ISP of your choice.

Which you choose may be down to what's available at your postcode.  I 
have a choice of ADSL or nothing (despite having Telewest cable down my 
street - it's the wrong sort apparently.)  A colleague can get BY but 
not ADSL.

Have a peruse around uk.telecom.broadband.

I have ADSL (no choice, see above) and wouldn't go back to a modem now.
