BT Midband was looking good until the bit at the bottom of the FAQs said 'no Macs'. Apparently attaching Macs to the BT Midband network seriously degrades the service for everyone else! Goodness only knows how.

List of surftime ISPs

Once you've registered with an ISP, make a note of the access number supplied to you starting 0844 04. You'll need to dial this number whenever you log on during the evening & weekend period to take advantage of the SurfTime discount package, otherwise you may be charged for your calls.
Or SurfTime anytime if you are going to be using the internet a lot during the day
Q: What is SurfTime Anytime?
A: SurfTime Anytime operates in exactly the same way as SurfTime Evening & Weekend, except that the call discounts apply 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It costs £30.00 per month (including VAT). Like SurfTime Evening & Weekend, you will need to register with a participating ISP who will provide you with a dedicated SurfTime dial-up number starting 0844 04. The ISP will charge a further monthly subscription fee. The ISP's own Terms & Conditions of service and any online session limitations will also apply.
Find out about and choose a participating ISP.
