I would recommend you keep the two separate :-)
uk.telecom.broadband is the place for a bunfight about ISPs.

are these pre-wired outlets - not clear - in which case get a wireless
ADSL modem router with 4 ports (I'm assunming you want ADSL and are
not in a Telewest / NTL cable area)
http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/ gives you a flavour.
If you have issues with walls it may pay to just get a wired router
then put a separate wireless access point at a wired point in an
optimum position for the laptop use.

if these data outlet points are wired back to a common point then put
the router there. If that is convenient to the main BT telephone point
then fit it with a filtered faceplate (clarity.it adslnation.com etc)
and plug the router into the ADSL socket and all the extensions are
then filtered.
Otherwise you need an "electronic tampon" microfilter on every
phone/fax/sky box/alarm/clid unit
