Atari friendly Internet Service Providers

So you've got yourself a modem and you'd like to surf the web, who 
you gonna call? With dozens of UK based internet providers there's 
plenty of choice. However, if you're new to comms it makes sense 
to join an ISP where other Atarians will be on hand to help you.
