Free internet service providers for the Mac?

I've got a teaching colleague who's just bought a 14 inch iBook for her daughter.

She's after a 'free' internet service provider for the Mac.

She resides in the United Kingdom (good ol' UK!)

If you can help in anyway, I'd really appreciate it.

Best wishes,

We do it because Steve Jobs is the supreme defender of the Macintosh faith, someone who led Apple back from the brink of extinction just four years ago. And we do it because his annual keynote is the closest thing the computing industry has to a rock 'n' roll happening. The security and well-being of the free world will not hinge on these product announcements, but by pure showmanship, we are made to care. We are made to feel history is being made here.

Apple's notebooks have transcended the idea of Computer as Utility - even though they are indeed useful - and ascended to the plateau of Computer as Icon. And at that level, there is no competition.

Haven't all of the Mac-compatible free ISPs been gone for a long time now?

Cheers.

Did a Macworld search. Plenty for my friend to have a go at.

Thankyou for your time.
