I have had wanadoo and tiscalli on my ibook g4 with no problem. I think that the majority of ISPs are fine, but it should say on their website anyway.

If you have an ethernet ADSL modem, then any ISP is fine.

If you have a USB ADSL modem, then you need to check the brand that they supply.

I use plus.net without problems with my wireless ethernet ADSL modem, and I seem to recall that they offer a Mac compatible ADSL modem for free (well, £10 shipping) when you sign up.

I think most ISPs should be compatible. I have an imac g5 but all my other housemates have PCs. We're using metronet. I highly recommend them- they're very good!

Yes, plusnet is one that will work with macs since I know someone else that is using them with a mac.

Plusnet are very good and work with a mac. I have a g5 with airport and a belkin router, although be warned the usb adapter does not work with tiger, according to belkin it works fine with previous versions of OS X.

Pipex are probably the best broadband provider out there.
