FWIW we've installed a number of ADSL networks using the Vigor2600 (combined ADSL modem and 4 port ethernet router) and we use it here. It is not the cheapest (gbp149.00 + VAT) but they have been easy to set up (web interface) and reliable: http://www.draytek.co.uk/products/vigor2600.html In passing I should mention that we've had some bad experiences with BT broadband and we usually advise clients to go Plus.Net.
